When it’s cold and chilly outside, the best thing you can do is snuggle under a warm and cozy crochet afghan. So, I thought making a post with simple crochet pattern inspirations would be useful for this time of year!
A crochet afghan is a must-have for every fall and winter season. First of all, most of the patterns are beginner-friendly and they are really fun and relaxing to make while watching your favorite TV show. Second of all, they make such gorgeous accessories for your home and the best housewarming gifts! Moreover, the fun crochet squares in the pictures below are perfect for joining into bigger projects such as blankets or cushions. These kinds of projects are also very easily adjustable in size, so you can make them as big or small as you wish.
