How To Crochet an Afghan in 2 Days
Yes... I know... it does seem impossible but it's really true. I whipped up this afghan in just 2 days. The yarn choice and size of the crochet hook has everything to do with my speed.
I used Red Heart's Light and Lofty Yarn and a large crochet hook. I completed a cross-stitch that I learned from a tiny doily motif where I realized I could do it in an afghan.
In the demonstration below, I will show you the stitches I did to complete this afghan.
Materials
Size N Crochet Hook
- 6 Balls of Red Heart's Light & Lofty Yarn.

No blue button. Unsure if there is supposed to one
Marina King says
I don't think there is one
Amy says
Just to let you know, the blue button doesn't open up a pattern download for the 2-day blanket.
I love you, Mikey! 🙂
Marina King says
I don't believe there's a written pattern for this, just the video, which would be why there is no functioning blue button.

I am a beginner at crocheting, yet I enjoy making afghans for my family. Your tutorials are very helpful. Are you a teacher by trade? You give examples, repeat, show examples, repeat and also have a little chant to help guide. Over the last few years I have tried many tutorials with my projects and yet never been happy with the outcomes until I found yours. Thank you so much for helping and spending the time to make these tutorials for those of us that need it.
