It’s time to join the squares for the Suncrisp Appleghan CAL!
Inspired by bright colored apples, sunny autumn days and crisp fall air, this Appleghan captures the essence of Autumn without being drab. Made up of different squares, each week you’ll learn how to do a different motif for this amazing afghan. All the information needed to get started with the Crochet Along can be found here!
Assembly
Mattress Stitch Seaming
Step 1: Thread a yarn or tapestry needle with the yarn you’ll use for seaming. Bring it through the first stitch on the first block from the wrong side of the fabric to the right side.
Step 2: On the second block, sew the first stitch from the back to the front – mirroring the stitch on the first side.
After you’ve worked several sets of stitches, start tightening up the first few.
