Blue and white are also beautiful Christmas color motif for your Christmas tree decor, house decor, and of course this Winter Sky Crochet Snowflake Afghan pattern. I like this pattern because there is equal distribution of whites and blues giving a very balanced look to the afghan. This could be a beautiful alternate to a red/green/white colored afghan that you already have and this blue/white piece will surely delight family and friends. Perfect for mom, sister or good friend.
