Knitted Peacock Afghan
Tricia has been busily knitting my Peacock Afghan. I think it looks beautiful! And that crocheted border is so CLEVER, just like peacock feathers! If you would like to see the rest of her pictures on Ravelry, you can find them here. You can send her a message and ask her how she made that fantastic shell border. If you would like to make this afghan (either knit it or crochet it) you can find it here.

National Guard Afghan Chart
I've gotten several requests for a National Guard Emblem Afghan, so here it is. This afghan is 227 stitches across and 217 rows high. With an I hook and worsted weight yarn I measured my gauge at 4 stitches and 4 rows per inch, so this afghan would be approximately 56 3/4"x54 1/4" when finished.
I realize there's no way you could crochet this afghan from this tiny picture, so if you want the chart email me at crochetparfaitpg@yahoo.com. Let me know what format you want it in. (Excel--editable .xlsx, Adobe .pdf or picture .png, I recommend the .xlsx or .png files because the pdf splits it up into several pages.)
I've found some tutorials for different methods of doing Tapestry Crochet. If you are really talented (and somewhat ambidextrous) you can switch the hook to your left hand when you get to the end of the row and then crochet back the way you came like Carol Ventura does. I think this tutorial by Interweave is a little easier if you want to keep all of the design facing the same direction. This video tutorial by Red Heart Yarn has you turn the afghan as you crochet, it's easier but the design is not as true.
If you are new to crochet charts check out my Globe Pillow Crochet Along, it has a tutorial on how to read a chart. If you would rather cross stitch the details of the chart, I would crochet the major areas and then you can have a look at my Day of the Dead Banner pattern for a tutorial on how to cross stitch on single crochet for the finer details.
For other tips on following a crochet chart check out my Harley Davidson Afghan post.
Happy Hooking!

Elk in the Woods Afghan Chart
