Follow the Sun Afghan | Crochet Pattern | Out to Testers

The "Follow the Sun Afghan"
crochet pattern is out with testers!
Yay!!!
Meanwhile, I'm testing the pattern in this luscious Deep Ocean Blue
as the MC (Main Color.)

These have been temporarily joined with stitch markers.
This helps me keep track and makes the afghan easier to join once they are all done.

I don't know how big it will be.
I'll keep crocheting the motifs until the tests come back...or maybe longer. 
Luckily I have plenty of yarn.

Oh, and BTW I love this yarn!

Yarnsmiths Create DK, it's a 100% acrylic DK weight yarn.
It comes in over 100 colors!!!
The price is so good too.

I purchased it from Wool Warehouse.
Click here for a link to the yarn.
(I do not receive a commission on the purchase of this yarn.)


Stay tuned for more on this project and the call for pattern "maker" testers.

Follow the Sun Afghan | Pattern Testing | Forthcoming Crochet Pattern

These are a couple of tests from the 
"Follow the Sun Afghan"
crochet pattern coming soon. 

❄️๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿงก❄️
 On this wintry day, I am questioning the naming of this project.
It seems like "Summer in Snow" might have been more appropriate.
  as it may likely be closer to summer once the pattern is all rolled out!  
Well, not really...probably closer to spring.
 
Here's the border.
It really changes the look to change colors.

The pattern will be about 26 pages!
Including a two-page abbreviated version for printing, 
 Additionally there are plenty of step-by-step photos and exclusive videos for every step.

A few more tweaks with tech editing and it'll be ready to go out to pattern testers.

Stay tuned for more on this project and the call for pattern "maker" testers.
