Thanksgiving will be here tomorrow, and Christmas is not far behind. My husband has always teased me for shunning Christmas music or decorations until after Thanksgiving. Despite my ‘holiday habits’, this beautiful Christmas crochet afghan has me full of Christmas spirit.
The first post of the CAL featured the top panel graph which can be found here; in today’s post, we will be working on the bottom panel for our afghan.
NOTE: This graph and pattern are designed for use with the corner to corner (C2C) stitch, you can find my C2C Tutorial here if needed.
Supplies:
1. Size I (5.5 MM) Crochet Hook
2. Worsted Weight Yarn in light grey, black, brown, white, red and green. NOTE: This graph features both light and dark green colors. I opted to use only the dark green for my panel.
3. Yarn Needle
4. Scissors
You can download a larger, printable version of the graph HERE.

I loved the graph design, but it doesn’t do justice to the beautify of the completed panel! I am excited to see this afghan coming to life, and am looking forward to sharing four more beautiful panels with you. Want to sneak a peek at the full graph design, or need more information to get started? Check out a preview and additional information here. Have questions or feedback? Leave me a comment below or visit me on Facebook to share pictures of your completed panel. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Hooking!
