This creates a lovely “reflection” and looks gorgeous laying flat, hanging, or folded. In the middle, there is one large strip and then the stripes reflect the pattern all the way to the end, getting smaller and smaller as you work. The stripes themselves are made of three colors, and start small but get bigger and bigger toward the middle. This adds a ton of fun to the stripes while staying an easy crochet baby afghan pattern. Because of the way the Moss Stitch works up, it can create fun “zig zag” stripes when changing color. Using the Moss crochet stitch, the finished product is a lovely, stretchy mesh fabric. I love to add as much personality as I can into easy crochet patterns, so I did some thinking and decided to use the Moss Stitch (also known as the linen stitch). She gave me two directives for her crochet baby afghan: Sage greens and stripes. The two of us had a ton of fun talking about colors, style and what we wanted the crochet baby afghan to look like. If you’ve been here for a while, you know I jumped on the opportunity to offer her a crochet baby blanket. An old friend of mine announced she was expecting her first babe a few months ago.
