Free crochet patterns for two crochet afghans using Red Heart Comfort yarn. Both afghans basically follows the same stitch pattern, and both are worked in rows. However, one has the resemblance of blocks while the other has the same stitch pattern going all the way across.
Pattern ‘A’
Pattern ‘B’
The gauge and finished measurements are basically the same for both patterns.
Due to the cross stitch, the blanket requires quite a bit of yarn. However, the final result is a nice lacy texture that you’ll enjoy in the living room or the bedroom.
You can find a stitch tutorial on this page: Another Variation of the Crochet Cross Stitch.

Alicia, I’m guessing it’s the crossed stitch that is giving you problems. I’m working on putting together a tutorial, but it’ll be a bit before I have a chance to publish. I’ll update the page and also post in the comments to let you know when it’s done. Thanks. :)
Thank you. I think Im just not familiar with going back and crocheting in stitches. So I just want to fully understand
It’s a bit different, but the concept is the same in this tutorial: https://crochetncrafts.com/how-to-make-the-cross-stitch-in-crochet/
The video tutorial is now up at this link: https://crochetncrafts.com/crochet-cross-stitch-another-variation/ I apologize for the delay, but hopefully it’ll help. :) Let me know if you still have questions.
