Blankets are one of the most cosy things we have in our houses. Afghan blocks make it easy to create fantastic crocheted designs.
Afghan blocks are the building matter of the most beautiful bedspreads and afghans. Making them one by one is much easier, especially if you go for king-sized bedspreads, that would be much harder to make otherwise. Take a look at examples below to check the current trends and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.

2. Flower Granny Square
Meladora’s floral square has a little bit of texture, which is enough to make this simple project interesting and versatile. It reminds me a bit of African Flower motif, but it’s not the same. Make a bunch of them and join together to create a blanket, or start with someting simpler, such as a pillow cover.

3. Papavero Flower
Black, red and white always make an effect, so keep it in mind when you need your project to stand out! This structural poppy flower sits on a very simple white background, which makes it pop (sic!) even more. Crystal created a balanced, but very eye-catching project that can be a starting point for many bigger designs.
