This is a collection of afghans from our library that over the years have been some of the most popular holiday gifts. We decided to began a little early for our holiday afghans. We all know that we like to get a head start in making these before the big rush. Even though this book might seems a bit early, I think we all do personally know how long it takes to create blankets, throws and afghans. Getting a head start is certainly on crocheters’ minds. Diva Dan spent a bit of extra time to come up with addition colour combinations that can help you ease your way through the holiday season. Enjoy!
