Welcome to VTNS (Vintage Textile and Needlework Sellers) Fan Freebie Friday!

Time to dust off your knitting needles and get ready to knit a pretty afghan for winter time. This freebie has Five Fancy Knitting Stitches that look hard to do but are easy to make.

Don’t know how to knit, check out this earlier blog post Beginner Knitting Manual to learn the basics.

Use one of these fancy stitches for a whole afghan or make a combination of them to sew together and make any size afghan you’d like. The color of yarn is up to you.

Here’s the pattern and instructions in PDF format:
