Sea Glass Crochet Afghan Pattern

This Sea Glass crochet afghan pattern uses a simple two-row stitch repeat to create a pretty textured blanket with rows of colorful stitches and open spaces. The easy, repetitive pattern lets your mind wander as you work … so restorative and meditative!

I absolutely love the combination of blues, turquoise, and purple I used for this blanket. The colors remind me so much of pieces of sea glass washed ashore, which is exactly how this afghan got its name.

The pattern is worked in straight rows with no increases or decreases, and the colors are carried up the side as you work. You can also easily customize the width and length to make the blanket just the size you want.
