The Most Versatile Afghan
Instead of looking in different places for your kitchen decor and baby needs, snatch up this pattern to cover all your bases. The Most Versatile Afghan uses the same basic pattern to create an easy crochet baby blanket, a table runner, or a place mat. The simple paneled look would be the perfect touch of crochet magic for your dining room or breakfast nook, but it also works well for that special little one in your life. You can make the afghan by working up the panels and then joining them, or just make one for the runner and mat. This lets you tweak the size and style for whatever needs you might have—work it up in all three sizes and you can have a great gift set!

Versatile is always good. I like the concept that you can take one pattern and tweek it to suite your needs. This is a good pattern to save because of that feature alone. I can never have too many patterns of any kind. However, I do tend to only make any pattern once. With all of the different patterns available, why would I want to make the same pattern more than once?

Until reading this post, I never really thought that a mile a minute project could be so versatile. Depending on the color material you select you could easily have any of the items listed in the introduction. With spring then summer coming this year, I would love to have a new table runner for each season. This may be the project to complete to have at least one of them made.

My oh my! What a versatile pattern..a baby afghan, or a table runner or a table mat! You could have one very coordinated room with these pieces. I like the rustic and earthy feel of this pattern. The pattern is set up well with materials, notes, sizes, abbreviations and special stitch instructions all in place before you start the detailed instructions. You should have everything you need in one place!
