This Crochet Christmas Trimmings Afghan is my Christmas in July gift to you!
This is my first time creating a project, especially with a Christmas theme. I decided to go with a vintage feel with the colours of Red Heart with Love I chose. I wanted the blanket to look like garland on a tree or a pretty wrapped present that would sit under it. There are lots of lovely textures in this generous-sized throw that will look great with your holiday decor.

Katie Parsons says
I'm really enjoying this pattern. It's so engaging.
A question though: A couple of the adjacent rows have "turn" at the end. Does that mean I am supposed do one of the rows on the wrong side and then the next row back on the right side? The first time I came across it I thought it might be a typo. Then came across it again on the same stitch later.
Thanks.
Jeanne says
That is correct! Sometimes the texture looks different, so that's why you need to turn it over to the wrong side.
Katie Parsons says
got it. Thanks so much

There are missing stitches in pattern on row 1. Is this being updated? I will wait to start this if it is. Thank you
Mikey says
I am unaware that there are errors in this pattern. I will have Jeanne look into this in the next week or so. I've seen people complete this design, so this comes as a surprise. Michael

Hello, I was wondering if a video could be done on this one? I know Mickey's really really busy and if its not possible its really no problem. Just thought I'd request. Gonna give it a shot if not. Sure is beautiful.
Thank you
K. Lane
Mikey says
Thanks Kelly... I'm unsure yet due to time. I haven't looked carefully at the pattern to see the work level involved yet. I'll circle back when there is more time.
