Amazing and beautiful vintage crochet afghan patterns. From floral fun like Fleur de Lis and Victoriana Rose Wreath to nature's delight like Autumn Glow and Modern Leaf. Even includes an Old Granny Afghan to remind us of family and the joy of snuggling with something especially made for you!

You can make the most fascinating afghans and most of them in this book are so simple they can be made while watching television. We think of particular interest is the Star Stitch Afghan which is bright in the colors shown but can be just as exciting in your own color scheme and just as easy to make.
