Another FREE Pattern: Yule Tree Throw and Matching Pillow

 

Here's my latest afghan pattern, hopefully just in time so that you can finish it for the upcoming Christmas holidays!  Here's the link.  Warning:  this isn't for beginners, but rather for the intermediate to experienced crocheters.  I promise you I'm not trying to make this hard, but merely trying to give the seasoned crocheter something more fun and rewarding to do.  The cabling becomes routine once you establish the first few rows.  The Yule trees are worked using varying lengths of chains connected only in the front loops.  In the following row you work in the remaining loop behind the trees, using a treble crochet.  The trick is to pay attention to the direction of the cabling once you get comfortable with the stitches.  Should you need help, check out the free instructional videos available on this site under "videos".  As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  I will do all that I can to help you be successful with any of my patterns!
