Red, White, and Blue Afghan

     Each year, in time for Fourth of July delivery, the South Jersey Crochet Guild makes red, white, and blue afghans for veterans and  military families.  Guild members can't meet because of Covid-19 restrictions, but we continue to crochet in our virus free isolation.  I just finished my patriotic blanket.

There you have it.  The designer warned that the border might ripple. I did not follow her advice to use a smaller hook for making the border, so I have rippling down the long edges.  Washing and drying might rectify that.  

The afghan is worked in a simple V-stitch.  This project was easy to combine with binge watching HBO's "High Maintenance."
