Welcome to the Peacock Plumes Afghan Crochet Along!

Join Cascade Yarns and Melinda Miller this fall for a wildly wonderful crochet along!

Melinda designed the Peacock Plumes Afghan using Cascade Yarns' Anthem - an affordable, 100% acrylic yarn - but the pattern also works with Cascade 220 Superwash for a wool option!

Supplies

In addition to your yarn, you will need a crochet hook and a tapestry needle.

We have kits in the suggested colors of Anthem, Pacific Sport and 220 Superwash. Shade cards are below for reference. If these colors aren't quite your style, we have additional colors of 220 Superwash in stock and ready for you to create the perfect colorway of your own!
