The crochet boho ornament afghan was inspired in 2016 but not officially developed until 2018. The original inspiration came from the Crochet Victorian Ornament Afghan by Kate Steinke. I struggled with the Victorian version, as I found the round beginning and ending confusing, at least to me.
So, I re-wrote the pattern in a way that worked for me and added texture as I wanted to use it on the Crochet Nutcrackers.

I held onto the idea and returned it in 2018 to re-read my notes. I rewrote it again, adding even more texture and joining techniques.

We ended up doing a Stitch Along with this afghan. You can visit the photo gallery to see what Afghan crocheters have done for this project.

I was definitely intimidated by this pattern but once I got started, it was so much fun! I don't think I got the joining down until the last row but it's all being held together! Thanks for the beautiful pattern!

I always have to ask if patterns like this are joined in the round (or as you go since this one is offset) because in the round directions do not work for LEFT-handed crocheters as written for right handed crocheters.
I've got a mystery crochet along WIP that's about 15 years old. I was LOVING the process until the last "clue" came out and it was joining in the round. I even specifically asked if it was joined in the round and didn't get a response. I love the creativity, but that one thing is a mechanics issue I haven't sat down to figure out.

I'm sorry, I chcked my email and didn't see a request for clarity on this. I did do the ornament motifs in the round. I'm unsure why the pattern isn't working for left handers as you are just crocheting in the opposite direction. The charts are followed the same if you are right or left handed. I have seen left-handers do this pattern so I am unsure what they are doing differently than you are. I'm sorry, I'm not much help.
