Am so excited to have finally finished this corner to corner (aka c2c) afghan - it's definitely the biggest project I've done - and I love the way the colors turned out!I attempted to create a Moroccan jewel tone style - the jury is out on if that worked!
It started with this color palate:
...but ended up frogging the yellow and leaving it out.....
Then I put it down. Picked it up. Repeat repeat repeat - for almost a year! Forgot the best way to do the box stitch used in the c2c, and had to constantly refer to the awesome video from Mikey at the Crochet Crowd found below:
And so it grew....
And grew some more....
At this point I was so in love with the jewel tones and coral pop of colors, I had to finish. But realized I counted wrong for the decrease and ended up filling in the last corner with the dark purple color. I then added a crocodile flowers, a free- form leafy type thing, (free flower pattern found
HERE), and whaaaaa-la!
DONE! So excited to finally have it in my living room!
Find project details on my
Ravelry page <3
Happy hooking!

Hi! Love love the colors!! Great work! I like the border. Someone was asking about a border (or not) for a C2C at The Crochet Crowd and I was surprised Mikey said "no border" if it were his project. I think a border adds more polish to any work. :-) Ana here just in case you have no idea. Lol
Thanks Ana! I had to do the border to secure all those ends, no matter how much weaving in, they they still make me nervous! LOL
Hi! I have been searching for border tutorials to finish my C2C project without much success. I love the border you created. Would you mind sharing how you did the border? Thank you
I would also love to know how you did your border. I feel they look better with a border than without.
