The Crochet Into The Light Afghan by Jeanne Steinhilber was a much-needed stitching journey. Filled with light bouncing textures.
Jeanne found herself trying to cope with emotions during this unprompted crochet design. It was never intended for the book but when she showed us behind the scenes, we were gob-smacked by the intentional shadows that it gives off.
As Jeanne designed and hooked herself through this afghan, a lot of time of thinking was placed into this blanket. It's a blanket she personally cherishes. This blanket was sent back to Jeanne to gift to a friend who helped her claw her way out of the dark and back into the light.

I have crocheted the Into the Light Afghan using five balls of Caron One Pound yarn. I am providing a supplement to the book of my round by round color suggestions, with a checklist you can use while crocheting if you prefer to control the colors.

Thank you for your wonderful contributions. When will the next tutorial be available? I am very excited to crack on. We are in the highlands of Tasmania in Australia, so the opposite end of the world.

I'm just back from Australia. I have to get some digital housekeeping done and then restart my daily schedule. I don't have a date yet.

It looks as if this would be easy to make as large as you want by repeating sections. Do I have that correct. I am thinking about making this as a wedding gift. I do have the book. Just wondering if it is possible to make it bigger. I love all the work you guys do for us.
Mikey says
I believe it can be but I don't have the math for you figured out or which rounds you do that for. But yes, it should be able to go bigger.

Hello awesome people at the Crochet Crowd! ? Do you perhaps have a total amount of yarn used for this blanket in yards? The book says 7 Caron Cakes (445 yds/each), is all of it used? I bought Big Cakes but I think I mis-calculated. Thanks ❤️?
Wendy Maruna says
Jeanne said she believes she used most of the 7, since it has been years she doesn’t recall the exact amount left over. Hope that helps
