Free Crochet Light and Airy Afghan Pattern

Difficult wording, but overall great pattern

I like the pattern and I didn’t find it challenging. However if I was just starting to crochet, this would have been HARD. My only issue with it was the wording for the clusters. It was hard to follow the first time, but once I got it down it was easy. I also had issue with the wording that the ch 3 at the beginning of each row counted as a dc. It DID NOT. Only sometimes. Sometimes it counted as part of a double stitch together and therefore the double crochet after it and the chain 3 should only have received 1 single stitch on the row above it. If that makes sense. I fixed it by doing a single crochet together on the last double crochet and chain 3.

Somewhat Challenging

I found this pattern very challenging- wish there was a video for it. It ended up being way too narrow - which could be my fault with my tension. Ended up using 2 1/2 balls less than the pattern calls for. I'm thinking of replicating the pattern down both sides to widen it. I'm not a beginner at crocheting but this didn't feel like it should be labeled Easy.

• We appreciate that you took the time to share your thoughts on the Light and Airy Afghan Pattern, and that you found it challenging especially for its easy rating. In response to your afghan consuming less yarn than expected, I'm wondering (and you mention) about checking the gauge (or tension as it is called on this pattern), both before you began and as you were working the pattern. The yarn quantities and final dimensions are based on getting the specified stitches per inch both going across the stitches as well as across the rows. Adding panels on the sides would definitely work, or adding a border would as well. We wish you all the best in finishing this project so it works for you. It means so much that you shared your experience with us.
