Description
Center granny square flows into captivating stripes and textures.
Mary Maxim Maximum Value worsted weight yarn is available in several shades. The perfect afghan to make for friends or family. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness in using machine wash and dry Maximum Value yarn.
Your friends and family will admire your artistry in making this memorable design, but you don't have to tell them it isn't difficult! Front post and back post stitches are clearly explained in the instructions. By working around the post of stitches in a previous row, instead of into the top of the stitch, sharply defined textures stand out as you work the rounds.
The pattern begins with a classic granny square with the difference of cluster stitches on either side of corners and chain spaces making a modern granny that stands out from the crowd. As you continue working more rounds, colors are added that make the design show up even more. The row of diamond shapes looks like separate squares that are sewn together, but are worked in rounds as you continue the pattern. Bands of stripes, shown in the model in the two lightest colors, are added at opposite ends to increase the length and change the design from a square to a rectangle. More rounds are added, repeating design elements from earlier in the pattern, to complete the generous 48.5 x 60.5" afghan. Requires crochet hook I-9.
Kit includes Mary Maxim Maximum Value yarn and pattern.
Stitch Requirements: Chain, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, marker, slip, repeat, yarn over, cluster, front post, decrease.

I love the crochet club. They send such interesting Projects. The quality of the materials is always spectacular. Very glad that I joined.
Beautiful, heavy puzzles
Yarn is perfect for winter hats with pom pom on top. Easy to work and crochet
Very cute & easy pattern to follow. I know that my great-niece will love it for her 3rd Birthday
Perfect yarn, thanks for the heads-up on when it would be back in stock! The yarn is so soft and easy to work with and the color way is beautiful ❤️ thank you so much. Fast shipping too.
Just beautiful- very pleased!
The order I placed was mostly for Christmas gifts. But I did order two patterns for Crochet Baby blankets. I have already finished one and love it. It came out so Beautiful. I used Big Twist 100% Acrylic that I had purchased from you earlier. It was perfect for this project.
Great yarn for dish cloths.
I had no issues with the Puzzle yarn. It is soft and I didn't encounter many knots. I had a couple but nothing excessive. The color scheme flows nicely.
Loved it! Fun to stitch and came out fantastic!
Puzzle yarn is my favorite . Its soft and not too light or or to heavy

This afghan was extremely easy to crochet ... almost like a large Granny Square. I normally like patterns that are a bit more of a challenge, but I'm very happy with this pattern and I've received many compliments on it. As it turned out, this was one of my favorites after it was finished. I had leftover yarn so I extended the border quite a bit and added a variety of stitches to the border to make the afghan larger.
My husband is totally in awe of this afghan. He comments on how striking it is every time he sees me working on it.
I am only about 30% done this afghan and am anxious to complete it. I have found parts of it challenging although I have learned new things. . like there is a 3rd loop that can be crocheted in. Also one has to be careful to count and have the correct number of stitches per side for the stitches in the following row(s) to fit the pattern. I have accidentally done 2 rows in colours that do not follow the instructions. There are so many colour changes with no set repeating patterns that I feel this has not altered the pattern too noticeably and there appears to be enough yarn of each colour to allow me to finish the afghan with the amount sent.
The Mary Maxim Value yarn is good quality and easy to work with. Unfortunately, the Starlette yarn tends to split while being worked with.
All in all I have found this kit to be of very good quality.
Beautiful afghan and easy to make. Directions are easy to follow. I would have given it 5 stars but I ran out of the Aran color yarn on the last row and had to order another skein when it came back in stock. As you can see in the photo that I ran out of yarn with maybe 1 1/2 feet to go on the right upper side. I almost made it to the top. I’ll finish the last few rows after my order is delivered.
I made this in orchid shades and it turned out beautifully.
I have not started this yet. A friend had the completed blue one, it was beautiful so I purchased the same color. I have worked with this yarn in the past, and it was good.
I love this pattern! So glad I bought 2. One for me and one for a gift, completed of course. I especially love the central teal color!! Lovely, squishy, soft yarn.
Well written Directions, easy to follow. It's intermediate, but easy to work.
The pattern was lovely and the yarn was super soft. Loved it. As a beginner, I found it quite challenging and needed to work on my skills before I could tackle it.
I haven't done the project yet it is the next one in line
Beautiful outcome but the yarn quality was iffy — a lot of MAJOR tangles and large “yarn barf” from the center of 2 of the dark green skeins. There were also multiple awkwardly written parts of the pattern, and I wasn’t aware of the long list of corrections available due to errors in the pattern booklet until I was finding errors myself. They are available in the corrections section of the website, but I think they should link the corrections on the product page AND mail printed corrections WITH the pattern booklet. It would have saved a lot of time and headaches.
I made this in the purples--my favorite color. It worked up very nicely with no pattern issues.
I have yet to get started on this one but my colors are awesome. It will probably be a month or so before I get started on it, the price was great that’s why I bought it. Thank you
It came in a nice bag
I crocheted this afghan in the teals as shown. The women in my crochet group thought it was absolutely beautiful. It was fun to stitch because of the variety of different rounds. The directions were easy to follow. The yarn is soft and enjoyable to work with.
The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. The pattern is explained and color coded to follow. I'm looking forward to make this afaghan.
Yarn and colors are great. Pattern instructions aren't. Stitch counts off. I had to fudge the stitch counts to get it to work.
Hi Eileen! Thank you for your feedback. Please let us know if you need any further assistance! We are here to help.
It was real fun to do. I love how it came out.
I just love the different shades of "blue" and they will compliment my room beautifully. I have made a similar one for friends and they just rave about it. The pattern [clusters] was quite difficult to get just right [the tension] but after and few trial and errors I found the pattern easy to follow. A lovely product!
I couldn't understand the instructions for row 25. I must call to see if they can explain it better. Product is very nice.
Love the pattern and was easy to make. A great wedding gift
