This pattern has been around forever, You can find several patterns for this around the web!  I have chosen to use the pattern and tutorial that was provided by Wink over at A Creative Being!!  She has a great eye for color and her photo tutorial is wonderful too!! So… Let’s get started!!  Here is what you will need to get started…

Head over to A Creative Being’s website to grab the instructions… and make sure you say hi while you are there!! Click Here for the pattern…

Next… Gather your supplies… Yarn, hook and other crochet necessities!

Then… Get Hookin’!!

Weekly Row Assignment…  Choose how large you would like your afghan to be and Complete 2 color segments… She has this listed in steps instead of rows… So it will be step one, then repeat step 2-5 twice for two color sections… Each section of color is a repeat of steps 2-5!

I cant wait to see how we do with our first couple rows… Make sure to email me you pictures for next weeks Crochet with Me segment!!

Amazing Grace Charity Drive Featured Pattern

This weeks Featured Pattern is a cozy, beautiful free pattern!  The Amazing Grace Snoodie… It is a cowl with an attached hood.  Many of you have already made this pattern,,, And I know it would also be a perfect donation or gift for someone who is suffering or recovering from cancer.

Snoodie

Amazing Grace Snoodie

When I was designing this pattern it was a cold winters day… I was thinking  about The first Winter Sandy had cancer and had lost her hair… It must be very chilly when you are use to having hair not only covering you head… But like many women, Sandy had long thick hair to cover her neck too…  I started off just to make a cowl or infinity scarf, but soon decided to make this Amazing Grace Snoodie with the attached hood for total warmth.  I hope you will love it too~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Donating

When making an item to donate, keep in mind that it needs to be made of very soft yarn, clean~smoke-free and also free from any pet hair or dander.  No perfumes either!  You can find more of the guidelines in the Amazing Grace Charity Drive tab at the top of the page or by going to Crochet For Cancer
