Crochet Dad’s children, grandchildren, and wife 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.

Original Listing from Crochet Dad:

This is a simple, versatile pattern written by Colleen Rose and distributed here with her permission. I’ve used hooks from J through S for this afghan with 1, 2, or 4 stands at a time. Yarn used so far has been Red Heart Super Saver, Caron One Pound, Lion Brand Homespun and Baby-weight yarns. The amount of yarn needed depends on how big you want it. I’ve made them from 35 inches across to 70+ inches. If you use crochet thread, you can even make them into earrings.
