Summer in Swanage Crochet Afghan

Inspired by the beach huts of South Africa and mixed with some English flair, Summer in Swanage is a crochet afghan pattern that is worked in parts, with the beach huts and sandy triangles worked separately and then joined to the rest of the lazy waves. This crochet blanket is a fabulous summertime afghan that's fun and easy to make.
