Mommy An Me

Afghan Schematics are for those who already have some experience in crochet.

The afghans were all made using a Basic Round Ripple afghan pattern.

The variations of each afghan is listed in the "Afghan Schematics"

found on the individual photo page of each afghan.

This post show the photos and lists the materials used for this afghan and 

also a description or "Schematic" of how it was created.

The basic Round Ripple Afghan pattern

http://idealdelusions.blogspot.com/p/basic-round-ripple-afghan-pattern.html

Written in American terminology 

These afghans are what I call Mommy and Me afghans. All "Mommy and Me" afghans are about 40 inches in diameter and large enough for Mommy and Baby to snuggle under during those late night feedings.
They are also large enough to still be useful after your little one is not so little anymore.  I stopped making baby blankets "newborn size" when a friend asked me if I could put 4 tiny newborn size blankets together to make them into one large enough to still be useful.

After deciding to make afghans for the gorgeous new twins in our neighborhood I decided I wanted to make them alike but still individual.  

So I decided to make one a mirror image of the other and I am delighted with the results.  

I used the basic round ripple pattern and a "V" stitch with picot border.  

If I had it to do over again, I would work a 3 row border instead of just two.

These afghans are actually a wonderful peach color.

 I hate how the computer distorts the color but I don't know how to correct that problem. 

I started this set with Lion Brand yarn I already had in my stash.  I purchased the Caron yarn later and I had so much yarn left over I created a third afghan.  If you scroll down it can be viewed on the previous post titled "How to Fold a Round Afghan.".
