This is an absolutely gorgeous pattern! I found it on Reddit being shared in one of the forums. Many of us just know some patterns by heart, maybe we’ve learned them some time ago from Granma without knowing the name of the pattern, or maybe some patterns don’t even have a name, they just belong to a generation of wonderful Granma crocheters. Just my thought!

This blocks crochet afghan is also a great choice if you need a break from making granny projects. This is made in one piece so no more sewing, for once. This afghan pattern makes stunning baby blankets, twin size or bigger afghans.
As I said earlier, I think this free afghan pattern is absolutely gorgeous. I love it! I don’t know if it has a name, the pattern was simply shared on the discussion board by the user Firejen. This afghan is made in one piece and you can find the pattern below.

Instructions
I have been doing this pattern for years so its by memory now. Start with 3 colors. Each “block” is 9 stitches so for however wide you want the blanket, count in 9 to get your foundation (and always make it an uneven number of “blocks) eg: 19 blocks(makes it about 5′ long) 19×9=171 stitches then add 4 =175 sc for the foundation row.
Row 1-2:Sc, switch to next color Row 3: sc 2 stitches,* front post double crochet(look it up), sc, until you have 5 posts, sc 9, then repeat post pattern(5 posts, 4 sc=9)(9sc), 2 sc (there is 2 sc at each end) Row 4: sc, switch to next color
Repeat row 3-4 until you have 7 rows of posts
Then switch the pattern to: Row 1: sc 11 stitches, then start pattern Row 4: sc, switch to next c
So you will have your “blocks” of (5 posts & 4sc) and (9sc) with 2 sc at each end.
Im not a pattern writer 🙂 i hope its not too confusing. (Source)
