Patriotic Partyghan
Choose a patriotic crochet pattern to celebrate your love for the USA. The Patriotic Partyghan requires three different sized crochet hooks. Create the stripes first, then crochet each star individually and stitch them all together to form this cool throw.
Not only is this crochet 4th of July pattern perfect for that holiday but it works for other patriotic holidays like Memorial Day, Flag Day, Labor Day, and any elections. Plus, it's a great way to feel supportive of the USA any day. It's festive, fun, and very Americana.

Wow so sweet! I like this Patriotic Partyghan pattern. So easy to make with the single crochet and repeating the rows. This is great to give to a vet or use our self on the 4th of July while watching the fire works. I so need to make one, I just need a coupon to buy the yarn. The written pattern is right here and I have saved it to come back and make it. So easy! Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet pattern.

Meant to say in the last letter home from my brother prior to sacrificing his life he wrote "Freedom has a taste the protected will never know"

American Patriot Throw is my suggestion as I don't see it previously used.

my suggestion is "Bars-n-Sparks" (just a little different than the normal names we give our flag) :)

I think this afghan should be called "Let Freedom Ring"! Because the blue field of stars "rings" around the red and white stipes!

I agree with "Stars and Stripes" but I would add a twist--"Stars and Stripes Fling"

I'm thinkin' "New American Glory" -- sort of a play off "Old Glory" -- or it could just simply be "Young Glory"
