Zinnia Blossoms Afghan
🕯 This pattern is retiring from my public shop.
For the next 24 hours only, it’s available at 40% off as part of my end-of-year retiring patterns sale.
Some retiring designs may return in limited ways in the future, but this is the last chance to purchase this version publicly.
Bright, bold, and cheerful: The Zinnia Blossoms Afghan has everything we love in an afghan. The floral hexagon motifs are crocheted separately with a faux-brioche edging, then the motifs are sewn together.
