Love the blue mosaic afghan. It's simple and very subdued. Perfect on a boy's bed. Can use red yarn to have the Spiderman effect. Our sons will definitely love the Spiderman stuff in their room.

I have made several afghans of this design. Lovely in most any color combination. Easy to do too. Very easy to make to any size you want. ..from a baby blanket to a king sized as a bed throw.

Sorry I clicked three times on the sign :click here for crochet afghan pattern. Now I have three Mosaic Afghan photos and no directions!!!!!!!!!!! I would really love to have the directions before my printer runs out of ink. PLEASE The pattern I really want, I can't find, I do not know the name of it. I have ordered it but haven't recieved it. Saw the photo in Crochet World and several other magazines. It looks like granny squares outlined in black with the design inside in graduating shades of blue. It reminds me of stained glass. Hope you can help me and thank you. Rusti Cutshall
