So, why is crochet afghan so popular?














In this day and age of machine made fabrics, home décor and clothing why is crocheting so popular? It’s because it’s so versatile. Within minutes of learning the basic stitch you can easily finish a scarf or afghan in less than a day. The more things you make you will see intricate patterns that you’ll want to create and they become one-of-a-kind. There is nothing more charming than to receive a hand-made gift from someone who loves you and you will know there’s no one anywhere else in the world that has your afghan. It will catch you in the heart.

No one seems to know when crocheting started some say as far back as the 1500s and some say it started in the 1800s. I don’t think it really matters, we can do it today and it’s one of the most versatile hobbies or occupations one can have as it’s also affordable.
