It is another year and I’ve got another super fun Christmas afghan pattern that I think you are going to love! I created the Christmas Train Throw in partnership with Lion Brand Yarn. I used the super soft Vanna’s Choice acrylic yarn which I love. It crochets nicely, has great stitch definition, doesn’t split, and washes well. It is a delight to work with!
Other afghans I’ve made from Vanna’s Choice yarn include:
- The Emoji Afghan
- The Christmas Cabin Afghan
- Gingerbread Cookie Lane
- The Nutcracker Suite
- and Fruit Pi
When Lion Brand approached me about designing a new corner-to-corner crochet afghan, I knew that I wanted to embrace the nostalgia of past Christmases. I knew that I wanted a Christmas train.
We have a fun LEGO Christmas train, and I love to just turn it on and listen and watch as it chugs along the track. It just makes me smile with its presents and trees and other magical details.
I wanted this blanket to evoke all those happy Christmas memories so I made sure to include as many holiday elements as I could.
The Christmas Train Throw features:
- A gingerbread engine
- A coal car
- Two presents cars
- A Christmas tree car
- A fancy sleigh
- A passenger car
- Holly, garlands, and colorful lights
- Peppermint wheels
- And a red caboose.
This Christmas Train Throw is sure to delight Christmas lovers of all ages.
