New Crochet Pattern Shawl

Crochet is the yarn art of making fabrics, sweaters, shawls, afghans, etc. In fact, anything that can be visually imagined, can be made with crochet, though it might take a million attempts to do so perfectly. Personally, I love gifting my mom with my crocheted stuff because my love shows in my effort. If you wish to try it, give the articles presented below, a very good read before you start.
In the English language, the word 'afghan', was mentioned by Thomas Carlyle in 1833. This word has a reference to the country of Afghanistan.
Origin and History

Afghan blankets, also called Afghans, can be used as blankets or throws. They are crocheted from yarn using a thick needle, which is hooked at the end. The final product of this type of stitching is called an afghan. Afghans have large and prominently intertwined bumps. Beautiful patterns are stitched by sewing together multiple pieces of afghan. The knitted blankets are named so, after the term used for referring to the people of Afghanistan. The word 'afghan' is a Persian term for the people of Afghanistan. Afghanistan is well-known for its wool and textiles. An afghan blanket can be used to refer to a crocheted blanket or throw.
Uses

The afghan blanket can be used as a throw to cover cushions and chair seats.
It can also be used as a headboard throw.
It can be used as a blanket and is extremely warm to snuggle into, on a winter night.
Afghans can also be used on beds. When used as throws, they can make simple beds look stylish and classy.
Furry afghans can be thrown across furniture (like sofas). They not only make the furniture look cozy, but also keep pet hair off the cushions and sofa covers.
Types and Sizes
The three types of afghans are:

Mile-a-minute Afghans: They are most used by beginners in crocheting. They are knit into a single piece with minimum stitches. Therefore, they are easy to stitch.

Join-as-you-go Afghans: They are made by joining multiple crotchet pieces together. Variations in their stitching patterns have led them to be more widely used as throws.

Motif Afghans: They have a variety of designs like squares and blocks. Usually, most afghan blankets are stitched in motif style. They are also known as granny style afghans.
