Arrow Stitch Afghan
The beauty of this Arrow Stitch Afghan lies in the delicate and unique stripes and points created by the arrow stitch. This is a thoroughly feminine crochet afghan pattern, even if it's not made in this soft, dusty pink. Once you start crocheting these arrows, you'll see the beautiful pattern emerge.
Though it is an intermediate crochet afghan, the repetitive nature of this pattern makes it easy to follow. Once you have it down, continuing does not take a lot of brain power. Once you're done, you will want to start another one to give to someone special.
