Suzette’s Chunky Afghan

Design by Alexandra of EyeLoveKnots.

This crochet pattern is for a chunky, beautifully textured afghan featuring the Suzette stitch pattern, which is comprised of simple single and double crochets. Worked in two strands of worsted weight yarn (or one strand of chunky weight yarn), this cozy afghan works up fairly quickly. This afghan took me just over 11.5 hours to work up.

Finished Size: Lapghan

Materials

• 2960 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn
  • For this afghan, I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn – approximately 2.33 skeins of Black, 3 skeins of Red, and 1.5 skeins of White (two strands held together). In it’s place, you could use one strand of chunky/bulky (#5) or super bulky (#6) yarn. Take a gauge. If you don’t mind a slight difference in measurements, gauge isn’t essential.
• an M13/9mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
