Mile a minute – Is This The World’s Fastest Crochet Afghan Pattern??

August 14, 2014 by jd wolfe

super-fast-crochet-afghan

On All Free Crochet, they call this the World’s Fastest Crochet Afghan!  Really?  I don’t think so.  Okay, I’m not a fan of mile a minute patterns.  Not only must I crochet 2 things that are just alike, I have to crochet even more.  In this case, it’s TWELVE things that are just the same.  Not happening.

I can think of several different patterns that I could work up in far less time than I’d ever get this one made.  I’m not saying this afghan is not attractive.  It is – although I’d probably choose other colors.  If you like mile a minute patterns, this might be for you.  But, I believe I can crochet a diagonal crazy stitch in less time.  I think I could work a simple double crochet with 2 or 3 strands of yarn and have a full sized afghan in a weekend.

What about you?  What’s your favorite quick crochet afghan pattern?  Share a link with us if you have one or the pattern source so we can all learn to make a very quick gift when we need to.

Here’s the link to the pattern should you want to try it. If you are looking for more mile a minute patterns check out this E-book.

    I like the Vintage Crocheted Blanket by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas.

    I don’t like the mile a minute either. The worst row is that first one, and mile a minute has many first rows. I also dislike joining them together.
