The children, grandchildren, and wife of Crochet Dad are sad to announce the passing of CrochetDad (Gene) on January 3, 2022. We wanted to keep his patterns available for you to use to make beautiful creations for your loved ones--like the ones all of us treasure. Please know that we will not be able to provide support for these patterns, should you have questions. If you do make something with one of his patterns and post it to social media please use the #crochetdad hashtag to share with us.

The afghan produced by this pattern won 3rd prize in the San Diego County Fair in the category “Afghan, lap - exhibitor 62 or older”.

9-pointed Round Ripple Afghan with textured accents emphasizing the “ribs” of the afghan.
