Chenille Yarn
Need a pattern for an afghan to crochet as a throw?

I want an easy and fun stitch to do. I have eight skeins of 100g, 253 yd Chenille yarn. I do not want to do blocks or strips. It is going to be for a five year old.
Also, has anyone ever tried to do something to personalize an afhgan like this before? I was thinking something like a quilt block with her name on it in the center and then crocheting around the square until I reached the desired size. I am not really sure how I would do this, though. Any ideas for this, or maybe a different one??

Here's a crocheted afghan that my mother does. It's easy and it's one big piece rather than blocks or strips. I don't know about putting her name on it - just do it in her favorite colors. I wouldn't try to do a quilt block combined with the afghan, because you'd have to quilt the block, and then finish the edges, and then figure out a way to attach the yarn. After all is said and done, the first time you wash it you'll have a misshapen mess because the different components will shrink differently.

Great Granny Rectangular Afghan
Materials: Worsted weight yarn, 16 ounces each Color 1, Color 2, Color 3; 20 ounces Color 4 (Note: because yarn yardages of different brands vary considerably, on a large project such as an afghan it is advisable to buy an extra skein of each color to be sure you have enough of the same dye lot to complete the project); size H crochet hook or size needed for gauge.
Gauge: With H hook, rectangle should measure approximately 5” X 15 ½” after 4th round is worked (the second Color 1 round).
Note: Color sequence is Color 1, Color 2, Color 3, Color 4.
Instructions: This afghan is made differently than the usual granny because it is rectangular rather than square. You will start the rectangle with a foundation row, then begin working in rounds in the same manner that a regular square is worked.
Foundation Row: With Color 1, chain 48. Double crochet in 4th chain from hook, chain 1, skip 1, double crochet in next 3 chains, * chain 1, skip 1, double crochet in next 3 chains. Repeat from * across, ending skip 1, chain 1, half double crochet in last chain. Finish off Color 1.
Round 1: With right side facing, join Color 2 with a slip stitch in chain 1 space at end of previous row, chain 3, work 2 double crochets in same space (chain 1, 3 double crochets) 3 times in same space, 3 double crochets in each space between groups to chain space at opposite end of Foundation Row, work (3 double crochets, chain 1) 4 times in end space, continue around working 3 double crochets in each space between groups. Join with a slip stitch, finish off Color 2.
Round 2: Hold rectangle with right side facing and narrow end at top. Join Color 3 with a slip stitch in chain 1 corner space at right hand side of top. Chain 3, (2 double crochet, chain 1, 3 double crochets) all in same space (corner made); 3 double crochets between next 2 groups of double crochets (for end); (3 double crochets, chain 1, 3 double crochets) all in next chain 1 space (corner made); 3 double crochets between each group along side; (3 double crochets, chain 1, 3 double crochets) in next corner chain 1 space; 3 double crochets between next 2 groups; (3 double crochets, chain 1, 3 double crochets) all in next chain 1 space; 3 double crochets between each group along remaining side, join with a slip stitch to starting chain; finish off Color 3.
Round 3: Again holding rectangle with right side facing and narrow end at top, join Color 4 with a slip stitch in chain 1 space of upper right corner; chain 3, 2 double crochets, chain 1, 3 double crochets in space; * 3 double crochets between each group along side, (3 double crochets, chain 1, 3 double crochets) in chain 1 space of next corner; repeat from * 3 times, 3 double crochets between each group along last side, join with a slip stitch to starting chain. Finish off Color 4.
From now on: Continue to repeat Round 3, working 2 rounds in each color, then 3 rounds in each color; then 4 rounds in each color, etc. Work 2 more rounds in Color 4 to finish.
Fringe: We put 1 tassel in each corner space and in each space between groups along the 2 narrow ends, a total of 58 tassels on each side. For each tassel you need 8 strands of Color 4, cut to 14” lengths. Hold all 8 strands together, fold in half. With crochet hook and wrong side of afghan facing you, pull folded end through corner or space, pull loose ends through folded end, and pull knot up tightly. Repeat in each space and each corner.

5 Reasons Why Women’s Chenille Sweaters Will Look Great in Your Resort Store

Women’s chenille sweaters have been a staple in the closet of sophisticated ladies throughout the world. Aside from the comfort factor, women’s chenille sweaters are available in a fantastic range of colors and styles. In the past, women’s chenille sweaters were not known for their durability; they became “holey” and threadbare after a few trips through the washing machine. Now, however, these wonderful wardrobe additions are keeping their threads - and their original shape too!

 

Today’s Chenille Sweaters are Stylish and Durable

 

The designers of women’s chenille sweaters have modified their design to such an extent that they are now just as durable as any other kind of sweater. Our range of women’s chenille sweaters can be washed and dried in regular machines, and they will still maintain their shape without becoming loose or baggy. Our company offers women’s chenille sweaters in four exciting styles and nine fashionable colors. The styles available are the perfect complement to any season, and our embroidery can easily be added to personalize any one of them.

 

Five Reasons Why Women’s Chenille Sweaters are so Popular

 

1. Versatility – Women’s chenille sweaters are incredibly versatile and can perfectly compliment any outfit. Resorts offer an impressive range of activities, and women do not want to miss out on the fun by having to change their outfit every hour! Women’s chenille sweaters can be dressed up or down at will, and they look great with virtually any bottom wear.

 

2. Comfort – Women’s chenille sweaters have been designed with the lady in mind. They are luxurious to the touch, and these garments make the wearer feel like they are wrapped in warm, cozy, silk. Women’s chenille sweaters are still amazingly comfortable, regardless of the activity. Whether the wearer is cycling, hiking, or eating dinner, women’s chenille sweaters still personify luxury and elegance.

 

3. Range of Styles – Women’s chenille sweaters are warm without being too heavy and bulky. Consequently, they are perfect to display in a resort store year-round, and they make nice gifts for users to take back to their family and friends. Our company offers four different styles of women’s chenille sweater, including the much-coveted crew-neck sweater, the hooded pullover sweater, and the full zip hooded sweater. Whatever the season, there is a sweater style to compliment it.

 

4. Range of Colors – Women’s chenille sweaters are available in nine distinctly different colors. They are made from the highest quality yarn, which makes the colors look even more vivid and beautiful. Most women enjoy the fact that chenille sweaters have a silky sheen, making them look cheerful and spunky, yet still soft. Every woman is an individual with a unique coloring and body shape, and chenille sweaters are one of the only clothing types not to discriminate.

 

5. Personalization – Many people will want to take back a reminder of the wonderful time they had at your resort, or as a gift for a friend. Women’s chenille sweaters can be carefully embroidered to display a discreet logo or resort name. It can be difficult to find a classy, yet functional, gift in resort shops, so women’s chenille sweaters are able to fill a large void in the market.

Women’s chenille sweaters are a popular choice for any store. Women just love the way they look and feel in them, which makes them perfect for wearing or sharing.
