It is still amazing to me that you can take some yarn or thread and using a hook after a few directions wind up with something as beautiful as this. This is beautiful. I like the neutral color but I would appreciate this in a pale shade like pink or yellow to make it more girly. Thanks for the free pattern.

Beautiful. Crocheting this fireside chat in a neutral color was genius. You are able to really view all of the details. However, placing any blanket in my home in that shade would be a disaster. Good thing I know a very special person only a few months away from retiring. I know this will be the ultimate retirement gift.

This is very pretty in its simplicity. If you want to give it as a bridal gift, house warming or Christmas gift this would be perfect. Not knowing the receivers color choice or style this would fit in with any decor. I am going to save this one for sure for future reference.

Hi Loraine, A "pc" is a popcorn stitch. Thanks! Julia, editor for AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns

This is like a brocade. It's so beautiful. And the choice of color is so elegant. Here's the link to the pattern http//priscillascrochet.net/free%20patterns/Free%2 == 0Afghans/Matalsse%20Afghan.pdf.

Hiya from Scotland, Lavonne! I couldn't get the pdf to download or print properly either - so I opened a word.doc and did the old copy-paste job. I also right-clicked on the photo here to save to my desktop so I could remember why I wanted to go to the trouble of copy-paste to get this pattern) Hope this helps! Cheers, Sunnie

Wow- you removed my photos and didn't let me comment. I didn't know there could be anything wrong with photos of an afghan but apparently I am wrong. I guess I will unsubscribe. You don't seem to like having me as a member for some reason.

I love the pattern and want to make it but don't know the "Flat Braid" method of joining. How can you contact me to tell me how? Mari E.

I don't know it either. I just put the squares together facing each other and slip stitch them together.
