Claudia Afghan | Crochet Pattern | Listed!

Nine months in the making and the
Claudia Afghan Crochet Pattern
is finally designed, crocheted, written, edited, tested, and listed!

This is the original colorway.

These four colorways are also included in the pattern:

Claudia Colorway                                                    Sheela Colorway

Marianne Colorway                                                  Ana Colorway

Which one do you like best? 

It's named the "Claudia Afghan" after my sweet virtual crochet friend @crochetaladia 
who has been instrumental in testing and making so many of my patterns and 
most importantly keeping me motivated!

These were made with Scheepjes Stone Washed yarn but any similar yarn will work,
the common name colors are listed in the pattern for ease in using a different yarn.


You can find the pattern at the following Apple Blossom Dreams shops:


Click on the shop name and it will take you right to the pattern.

Thank you testers!

(Their tests will be in an upcoming post)

Warmly,

Astri Elisabeth
