Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
I am looking for a pattern for baby afghan from the Mary Maxim catalog. It is called Peaceful Pastels afghan. It is a rainbow of baby colors and is crochet. The design is a star shape and the rainbow appears by itself when the work is crocheted. You use 2 stands of yarn together when working afghan. Anyone out there who can help me?
I don't have exactly what you are looking for but I may be able to help you. These two websites are connected.
www.bevscountrycottage.com/
has lots of afghan patterns, this next website
www.bevscountrycottage.com/
has lots of baby patterns of all kinds, not just afghans and not all knit and crochet. Once you get to the website go to the section "Baby Blankets". The first listing is for "Beth's Little Star Afghan". If you are a fairly experienced crocheter you can probably figure out how to get a rainbow effect by changing the colors. Good Luck!
I am also looking for this pattern I saw it and loved it! If you found it will you please let me know where I can find it I would love to make this for my sister who is having her first child in May. Thank you! Ellie
Lori,
We are sorry, but this is a copyrighted pattern, and it is against the law to post it online as has been done. We have contacted the website to have the pattern removed. As you can see, if all the patterns we work to design, test, choose just the right yarn for the pattern, pay to have that yarn shipped to us, etc. were available at no charge, we would be out of business in a hurry!
Editor's Note: The pattern she is referring to has been removed.
Can anyone help me looking for the pattern for the afghan peaceful pastels? Would like to make it for my granddaughter. Thanks a lot.

Why doesn't Mary Maxim sell their patterns in a book rather than only with a kit? The kits are reasonably priced but sometimes I"d rather buy my own yarn! I had bought this kit once upon a time but after I made it, I can't remember what I did with the piece of paper. Books are a lot more durable.
Go to their website and request their catalog or you can find the afghan that your looking for as well.
With the help of other people on line they directed me to project-angel-kiss.150m.con/

Go to any search engine and type in patterns for crocheted hats and baby blankets.
Lots and lots of patterns out there all you have to do is look.
If you can't find something on this page, it doesn't exist!
There are more links on this page than you will ever need.
Most craft stores have online sites, with free patterns available. I've gotten some off of Michael's, Joann's, Hobby Lobby, etc.
As mentioned above - do a search for free patterns.
Have a look on this site:

The patterns are all free - you should be able to find something you like.
I have made several simple crochet baby afghans by doing the basic Granny Square with a size P crochet hook and continuing with the Granny Square, using 6-7 skeins of yarn. It really depends on how big you decide that you want it to be. I have used the Red Heart Baby Clouds yarn for a few and it really crochets up pretty and frilly with little puffs of cotton! They make an adorable gift for a baby girl! My favorites colors are the Tutti Frutti and Creamcicle. The larger hook makes it work up really fast. I have also made a couple using Red Heart's camouflage and banana berry (variegated blue, yellow and green) for baby boys. Their dads appreciate not having frilly items for their boys! I hope that this idea helps.

I'm looking for a pattern for a single skein blankie. It was in Crochet Today. It is an easy baby blankie pattern. Thank you.
By rose from IL
I looked on their site but they only have it for sale as a magazine back issue for 5.99:
www.crochettoday.com/
There is a picture, maybe someone will have a similar pattern for you. Or there are a bunch of one skein projects here for crochet that include baby blankets and afghans: craftiblog.wordpress.com/
This easy to make afghan will give baby a warm, snuggly blanket to cuddle into. Use your favorite colors and maybe even make several for your child or to give as gifts.
A beautiful crocheted blanket is the perfect gift for a new baby and is sure to be treasured as the child grows. This page contains a pattern for a lacy crocheted baby blanket.
Sometimes it can be difficult to track down older crochet patterns, especially when they may have been offered by companies no longer doing business. This page offers some suggestions for finding a reversible shell baby blanket pattern.
