Short Row Scrap Afghan
This classy afghan is a great way to use up scraps of yarn. It's also a wonderful portable project, because you're only working on one strip at a time instead of the huge afghan all at once. Pieces are stitched together at the end.

Iris Afghan
This pretty afghan looks more complicated than it is. Triangles alternate down the front, making it reminiscent of the quilt pattern Tumbling Blocks. Done in the right color, this would be a great throw for a baby's room, or it's a great choice to throw on the back of the couch for when a chill hits the air.

Hot D**n Afghan
You know those fancy afghans you see in stores, made of lots of different yarns and with astronomical price tags? Here's a pattern you can make yourself (the name comes from what you'll say when you learn how much cheaper it is to make this project instead of buy it).

Raspberry Afghan
This bright and cheery afghan is the perfect antidote to a cold winter day. The only thing complicated about this pattern is some swaps of the yarn from front to back and back to front in between stitches, but once you figure that out this is a pretty easy pattern.

Stitched Squares Afghan
A fun way to use up your stash or experiment with a bunch of different yarns of the same or similar colors, this afghan involves matching (in pattern) squares that are stitched together to form an afghan. The sample is in purple, but any color or type of yarn under the sun could be used on this fun project.

Mindless Scrap Yarn Afghan
Once you've been knitting for a while, you'll end up with a bunch of little balls of yarn left over from all your projects. When you need a project that will use up <i>a lot</i> of yarn, this is the afghan to make. It's knit in the round on circular needles, meaning it is double-thick and incredibly warm. The designer has a fun trick for picking colors, too.

Winter Night Afghan
This is a wonderful pattern when you're looking to impress someone with a gift. The finished product looks complex, with light zig-zags running through a dark background. But the complexity comes from the way it is assembled; in fact, the whole design is garter stitch!

Waffle Blanket
This cute blanket uses waffle stitch for a quick and easy pattern. The crocheted edge really makes this project. The pattern itself is so easy it actually takes longer to explain how to make the border than it does how to make the afghan itself.

Patchwork Afghan
The name of this design is a little bit of a misnomer because the "patches" aren't made individually but are formed in strips of alternating colors. This large afghan is made with two strands of yarn held together for extra warmth. Perfect for fall football games.

Feather and Fan Knitted Afghan
Feather and fan is a classic pattern stitch that is a lot of fun to make. This afghan pattern involves a four-row repeat and five colors of stripes, but you could certainly make it all one color or change colors less often to make it your own. This page also features a ripple afghan built in panels.
