This is it!!! The final week of instructions for the 9th Annual Crochet with Me… Mystery Winter Afghan. Week 10 is the final edging and ends this years project. I love this bright, retro style Mile A Minute Afghan. The project will be available in full soon in PDF format for those of you who would like to make it in your own timing…
Also, all of the weekly instructions will be in the Crochet with Me tab at the top of the page incases you want to make it in weekly time management or are still catching up!
This week we finished the edging and in the instructions there is a photo tutorial so you can see the special shell pattern. If you want to just continue with a couple rows of the chevron style edge and finish it that way.. It is makers choice!
How does a CAL work? Each week I post an easy to do section for 10 weeks. You can come here each Sunday afternoon and get the next set of instructions, Click on the Crochet with Me Tab at the top of the page to find them, join my Beatrice Ryan Designs Facebook CAL Group or in the right sidebar enter your email in Stay Connected to get all my posts by email as they are released.
