Create An Afghan Using Cross Stitch Patterns!





My son saw me making his sister an afghan and asked if I would make him a transformer afghan.  I told him I really didn’t know if I could do that without a pattern.  As I started to search for ideas I found a cross stitch pattern here and decided to try to use it. 


First, I counted the squares at the bottom of the pattern and then chained that same number with the yarn. 


I double stitched the rest of the afghan following the pattern. 



I placed the red yarn I wasn't using on top and thread it through as I double crocheted over it with white yarn.  Then, when it was time to switch I simple did the same with the white yarn. I crocheted a blue and white border around the transformer design. I’m excited for a whole new world of afghan possibilities that have opened up to me by using cross stitch patterns!
