Blackwork's Beauty Afghan - Coming Soon!
The Blackwork’s Beauty Afghan combines the look of the Blackford’s Beauty quilt square with interlocking filet crochet. Blackwork embroidery-style designs create the various “fabrics” for the quilt squares, while the floral designs between the quilt squares represent the “quilting.” A lacy border surrounds the afghan to complete the look!
This afghan uses two colors for the main color (background) layer and two colors for the contrasting color (design) layer. A YouTube tutorial is also provided to explain color changes.
This pattern provides both row-by-row written instructions as well as design charts for reference. Since this design has many diagonal stitches, it is recommended for someone who is comfortable with the interlocking filet mesh technique.
If you haven’t tried diagonals on an interlocking filet mesh project yet, you can learn how on my YouTube Channel! You can also read about it on my blog!
