This corner-to-corner crochet pinecone pattern adds a touch of modern warmth to your home during the fall and winter months. Use it as part of a Christmas-themed afghan or let it stand alone as a graphic and cozy pillow.
Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, you can make a really lovely modern afghan by using the pinecone, mitten, snowflake, tree and deer patterns. (Just leave the Christmas lights off the tree and make the deer nose black instead of red.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: I’m using half double crochet stitches for my C2C squares instead of the usual double crochet stitches. When I’m adding a box or square at the beginning of a new row, I’m chaining 5 instead of the usual 6 chains. Then I work my first hdc of that box into the third chain from the hook. At the beginning of each box (after the slip stitch), I use 2 chains instead of the usual 3 you’d use with a double crochet C2C project. This has allowed me to maintain a lot of visual detail in the graphs, yet hopefully end up with an afghan that’s not too massive to snuggle under on the couch.

October 8, 2016 at 2:14 pmI love it! C2C crochet is new to me – can’t wait to try it. I appreciate the fact that several of the afghan designs are winter-themed rather than Christmas-themed, meaning the afghan can be used year-round.
While I am also a better starter than finisher (during a recent move I unearthed a large box of half-finished projects, some dating back 30 years) I hope to actually create this afghan – or at least a couple of throw pillows. Three of the squares, attached vertically and finished with a border, would make a nice wall hanging, don’t you think?

October 16, 2016 at 8:54 pmOh yes! I hadn’t even thought of a wall hanging, but that is such a fun idea! Especially, like you said, because you could make it winter themed and use it for quite a while.
What did you do with all your old projects you found!? I have had similar experiences, and it’s SO hard for me to throw them away (but I’d never choose to work on an old project over starting a new one!) 🙂

November 4, 2016 at 11:39 pmThank you so much for taking into consideration those who don’t celebrate Christmas! At this time of year it can be difficult to find new patterns that aren’t Christmas related.

You’re welcome! I bet that is very true. Despite making this Christmas afghan, I’m keeping it kind of low key on Christmas crocheting this year, so I should have more general patterns that work for you over the coming months! 🙂
