My #1 Crochet Pattern of 2018
I am SO excited to announce my #1 crochet pattern of 2018!
I’ve been trying to reflect on my top 10 from last year so I have some idea what to create this year. I’ll still be making lots of scarves (I love scarves!) but I will be making a slight shift in my niche for this year.
I’m looking forward to the journey and I hope you’ll join me.
#1 – AMERICAN FLAG AFGHAN
Many years ago my sister asked me to make her an American Flag blanket. I wanted to create my own pattern and decided if I was going to do it I was going to do it right.
I used the schematics from the US American Flag and made it as true to dimensions as I could. The stars & stripes are all proportionately correct to each other. It was a huge project that took months of planning.
I also made the stripes more like a fabric so there are no holes between stitches (and it’s not sc). I also incorporated the stars right into the blanket so they don’t need to be sewn on.
Finished size is bigger than a throw – almost fits full size bed.
My other top patterns of 2018 are listed below.
#2 – Pemberley Heirloom baby blanket
#3 – Ava Grace baby blanket
#4 – Pine Grove Hat
#5 – Blue Ridge Blanket Wrap
#6 – Jordan Baby Sweater set
Thank you so much for making 2018 such a success. I’m looking forward to making some great new patterns for you this year!
Love this….. would make this for my son who is a retired Marine.
Beautiful design!
I would make one for each of my nephews, who are in the Navy, and my sister, their mother.

I would make this for my brother-in-law who served in the US Navy. He is very patriotic.
Flag looks great. Thanks for you hard work on planning the pattern
