Crochet/Looking for an afghan pattern

Question

afghan
Hello Bea,
Hope you can help me.  I am looking for an afghan pattern that my mother had in the mid 80s.  It is a double crochet diamond afghan with a ruffled edging.  We lost the pattern in a fire last August and lost mom in October.  Would really like to make for a wedding gift next Sept.  So would greatly appreciate any help.

Answer
Hi, Tammy! I got a request for this exact same pattern a couple of weeks ago, and I looked everywhere for it, with no luck! I thought I might have it in one of my books, because it looks so familiar, but I don't.  It's really been bugging me, too! I'll continue to search, and see if any of my crochet friends know of it, and if I locate it, I'll contact you! Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Best,  Bea

    CommentHello Bea, Thanks so much for the help. It is an old pattern and I wasn't sure if I could find it. Well I guess I will have to look at the afghan and see if I can pick out the pattern. Thanks for your time. Tammy

Expertise

I consider myself an expert in the field of hand crochet. I have been crocheting for 45 years. I can answer most question on the differnt stitches, as well as the methods used to create speciality items. The art of crochet, after 2 decades of being out of fashion, is enjoying a modest come back. I want to help those newcomers looking for a little/lot of help to get started. Once they are comfortable with the process, they can relax & begin to create the heirlooms of tomorrow.
