How to Crochet the Snuggle Super Fresh Red Afghan Pattern


After seeing the Snuggle Super Fresh Fabric Softener commercial with the Red afghan that look so soft and cozy I had a family member ask me if I could make them one.  Well, after watching the commercial on YouTube I discovered that this was a knitted blanket and I would have to come up with my own crochet version of the Red Beauty.  Originally I was going to crochet this in one solid red yarn but I changed my mind and crocheted using two different red colors of yarn.  You can use whatever color you would like to crochet your snuggly soft afghan from the free pattern below.

Materials Used

Yarn
Size L -11  8 mm Crochet Hook
Note:  I would suggest using one brand of yarn the Red Heart and Caron yarn were different weights and I had to make modifications to my afghan.  Either use just the Red Heart or just the Caron Yarn not both unless you are good with working two different weight yarns together in afghans.





Pattern

Using Red Heart Super Saver Yarn Only

Chain 121 across Turn

1st Row:   SC across, ch 1 turn
2nd Row:  SC across, ch 1 turn
3rd Row:  SC in BLO (Back Loop Only)  ch 1 to turn


Repeat rows 1 through 3 until you have a blanket measuring the size you want about 60 to 72 inches long. 

 Finish off by SC two rows and add a SC border around if you wish to complete the afghan. 

The trick is crocheting the third row in the back loops of the chain only in order to make this look more like the Snuggle red afghan like seen on television. You can make this afghan as small or as large as you want to snuggle in.  A worsted weight yarn works the best but as with any crochet you can use your imagination and try different yarns and hooks to see what looks good for your project.

The Benefits of Using a Cordless Iron for Quilting and Sewing Projects



Panasonic 360 Freestyle Cordless Iron-Purple (NIWL600V)
A while ago I was able to review a cordless iron from Panasonic.  Unlike my mom and grandma who were your typical housewives that had an ironing day my iron mainly sat in my closet until I needed it for an event or craft project.
I really never gave it much thought until I started using a cordless iron and it made the world of difference especially when it came to using fabric for sewing, quilting and other craft projects.
Here are some of the Benefits of Using a Cordless Iron for your Sewing and Quilting Projects.
  • The cordless irons are natural, easy and convenient.  They heat up quickly and cool down fast for easy use.
  • Quickly get to those tight spots like collars and corners without rotating the iron or yourself. Speeds up larger jobs like making quilts, tablecloths or curtains. Iron in any direction with precision, ease and speed.
  • The irons have a natural movement in any direction making it easy for you to not have a cord getting in your way while ironing. This makes ironing much more quick and easy.
  • Auto Shut-Off Remembers to Turn Off the Iron When You Don't
  • Easy touch system to select desired temperature.
  • Spray Mist wrinkles away easy and carefully

Free Crochet Pattern Easy to Crochet Messy Bun Beanie Using Caron Cakes Yarn

Drawstring Bun Hat (Crochet)
Drawstring Bun Hat Free Crochet Pattern
Crochet Caron Cakes Messy Bun Crochet PatternCaron Cakes Yarn, Spice Cake

Crochet Free Messy Bun Pattern

The Number of Caron Cakes Yarn to complete this project is 1 Caron Cakes Yarn - Shown in color Spice Cake.
Nothing could be more popular right now than crocheting a messy bun hat and what a better way to do make it than with the ever so hot Caron Cakes Yarn. The pattern states that you need to get the use of the different colors in the yarn skein, pull the four center colors out and unravel. Cut where each color changes and roll yarn into individual balls. But I have made hats using the Caron Cakes Yarn and I like to leave the balls together and see how the colors turn out when crocheting a hat and like the way the colors blend together.
 Hat Crocheted Using Caron Cakes Gelato Yarn

There are many ways to crochet the messy bun hat. Some start out with crocheting the ponytail or the bun area first while others start at the brim and work their way up. It's all a matter of preference and how you like to crochet.

This pattern also calls for using a Ponytail holder which can help your hair stay in place when wearing the hat.
