Free Afghan Pattern--Do As You Dream

DROPS Design: Do As You Dream

     Last week, I picked up a 1 lb skein of white yarn intending to use it for some mario mushroom hats (yes, that's going to happen soon).  I didn't read the yarn info as it was on sale and I knew I would use it.  Well, long story short this yarn is not the same weight as my red and green so I decided not to use it for the hats.  Instead, I am making this beautiful afghan.  With spring just around the corner, the blanket will be a perfect accent for any home.  The pattern is available free from DROPS and is really easy to work up.  I'm using Bernat Pound of Love in white (feels like medium weight 3 or 4) and each motif measures 4.75" for me (using a G/4.25mm hook).  I think mine will need some additional motifs added to make the afghan as large as I want it to be but it will be super easy to do.  The squares are joined as you go which I also really like.  It gives the blanket a lacy feel to it.  As you can see below, I have completed 5 squares since starting last night so at only 4 rounds per motif it works up super quick.  I'm extremely excited about this pattern and I hope you guys click the link above and try it out for yourselves.  It's beautiful, light, easy, and quick.  What more could you ask for?

That's it for me today, guys.  If you try this pattern out, be sure to share your photos on my Facebook page.  As always, be sure to like, comment and share!  Also check out my shop where you can order awesome items made custom for you by me.  Thanks for reading!
