Crochet Country Snow Window Blanket Pattern
The Crochet Snowflake Window Afghan is a morph of a design created by Daniel Zondervan. Daniel figured out how to do the hexagons but was unsure how to join the motifs. I took over the design and joined the hexagons together and did a final border. We called it the Crochet Winter Blizzard Afghan. There is a tutorial for this version available.
I don't know what the yarn quantity would be for the Super Saver Ombre Version. The squares for the Super Saver Ombre are 12" square versus the 20" square of using Bernat Blanket yarn.
We later figured out how to do his design to a square which we called the Crochet Icy Window Afghan. We just figured out the square without doing the assembly or border leaving that to the crocheter's design. The spiked stitches shown were something that crocheters didn't love.
Errors on Pattern
This is scheduled to be fixed. The numbers in red are what it should be if you compare to the original pattern. The Crochet Crowd Download version is correct, the Yarnspirations version on their site needs to be updated.

Sometimes, you need to look back and see what crocheters aren't in love with. It could be colouring or yarn choices as well.
Daniel and I did the design for the 3rd time converting to Bernat Blanket yarn to see up the process. I was able to crochet the afghan in just 4 days. The usage of variegates was a pure fluke as Walmart Canada had very few colours that would align together. However, it worked in this case.

This is something no crochet group has done.They are only making patterns and selling and making money.Not even interested in knowing whether people are able to crochet it or not.WhatMikey has done and continues to do it and has tutorials that no one does and because of this you feel like doing all the patterns that Mikey does because you know that there is Mikey who will help you.Keep up the good work my dear it’s a pleasure to be a part of Yarnspirations where Mikey is?
