Arrow Stitch Afghan
The beauty of this Arrow Stitch Afghan lies in the delicate and unique stripes and points created by the arrow stitch. This is a thoroughly feminine crochet afghan pattern, even if it's not made in this soft, dusty pink. Once you start crocheting these arrows, you'll see the beautiful pattern emerge.
Though it is an intermediate crochet afghan, the repetitive nature of this pattern makes it easy to follow. Once you have it down, continuing does not take a lot of brain power. Once you're done, you will want to start another one to give to someone special.

I made this years ago, and have been looking for the pattern again. Thanks for publishing this! The one I made is a single color, so I think I'll do it again in a different color.

First I have to say I'm glad I am a vintage crocheter, because there is no stitch guide for this pattern here on this page, making it hard of the ones who don't know all the stitch abbreviations. After reading the written pattern, I can see this one coming together nicely and look just beautiful. I have never done the Arrow Stitch before, but the swatch I made looks beautiful and I love the reverse single crochet stitch. I'm looking forward to making this beautiful afghan. It's on my must make list! Thank you so much for this free crochet pattern.

Just finishing this for my niece as a wedding present. I love the look! Found it fairly easy to do. Hardest part was laying the colors and how many rows in each color.

This looks easy to make. There are only two colors. It's fantastic that the pattern is right in front of the page. Thanks.

Rows 3 and 4 have no asterisk showing where to repeat. Repeat from where to where?
