Hi everyone.
I’m in the mood for a meaty project and have bought some gorgeous variegated yarn.
Ive seen this fabulous Afghan style coat on Instagram. No pattern, just a few details.
My questions for those more experienced than me are:
Am I right thinking this could be made as a granny square that just grows and grows (with 2 rectangles of any stitch at the sides).
Ive only made small squares, but many of them.
I like the circle back but have never made one before and not sure how I’d go about it, especially turning the circle into a square.

Afghan patterns are you best bet IMHO. Here’s one that has the circle in the middle. There are others.
I think I would start with the pattern I chose as written then at some point start turning the work to do three sides. I’ve no idea what the rest of it would be like, a shot of the garment being worn might help, so how to do the back is all I can offer.

Google “circle in a square crochet pattern”, then click Images, and you’ll see many options for the center panel. The way you turn a circle into a square usually involves a few longer stitches, like triples, where the corners will be. You’ll want it larger than this, but maybe these will give you the idea:

Similar patterns here which may help.
Also circle jackets which look great
There are several others on Drops too. Sometimes I read several patterns and combine the ideas of 2 or more into a single project. Or you might like to follow an entire pattern.
Thank you GrumpyGramma for going to all that trouble x

You’re welcome and it was no trouble at all. I had an enjoyable time thinking about how the project could be done. Are you started?
