Camo Afghan Crochet Pattern
I love the effects of this afghan design! My amazing grandma made up an afghan pattern that was worked diagonally and I thought it was really cool. My nephew's birthday was coming up and I needed to make him an afghan and wanted it to be different and fun. This was the finished project and everyone kept saying how much it looked like Camo - so that's where it's name came from.

2. Change colors every section for the camo effect by rotating colors (lt green, dk green, white, lt green, dk green, white...etc.)
3. There are 2 versions of this pattern. The original (green blanket) is worked corner to corner from left to right and you will fasten off each row. Version 2 (blue/black blanket) has slightly thicker color sections as it works 2 rows of each color. This option allows you to carry yarn along the edge leaving less ends to weave
