FOR FRODO! I am super excited for the new block of the month afghan for 2023! Okay, I admit, I get excited about every new project. I love to design, I love to create, and I love to make things for the people I love. This year’s project, with yarn support from Lion Brand Yarn, is The Fellowship of the Ring C2C Crochet Afghan. This may be the first time that I’ve really considered making two sample afghans. I love the movies myself and I have a LOTR-obsessed daughter. It’ll be a little bit of a wrench letting this blanket go, but from the first day I started designing it, I’ve always intended that it would go to HDawg.

The Fellowship of the Ring Block of the Month Afghan will feature 9 blocks:

• Gandalf
• Frodo Baggins
• Samwise Gamgee
• Aragorn
• Gimli
• Legolas
• Meriadoc (Merry) Brandybuck
• Peregrin (Pippin) Took
• Boromir

In addition there will be two border panels:

• The Fellowship panel
• Of the Ring panel

One block or panel will be released each month from now through November. Once we’ve finished all the blocks, we’ll finish things up with The Fellowship of the Ring C2C Crochet Afghan—Joining and Edging where I’ll show you what I did to edge each block and the blanket itself.

Let’s get started!

C2C Crochet Method

I used the standard Corner to Corner (C2C) crochet technique for this afghan.  I crochet with worsted weight yarn and I use an H hook.  To brush up on C2C crochet, click over to my Crochet Videos page.

Lion Brand Yarn has partnered with me on this afghan and has provided the yarn for this project. I chose to use Vanna’s Choice Yarn. This may be a “basic yarn,” but it’s a soft basic yarn and I love stitching with it. I designed this blanket with the Vanna’s Choice color palette in mind. I chose to use Dusty Green, Chocolate Brown, and Mustard for the basis of this blanket. They give this afghan a nice earthy feel, which is perfect for The Lord of the Rings.

Definitely click on over to Lion Brand Yarn and take a look at their products. If you purchase after using my link, I make a small commission which does not affect your price, but helps to keep my website running. Many thanks if you do!

Yardage for The Fellowship of the Ring Afghan

I weighed all my yarn before and after to give you the best guess I can for the amount of yarn used in The Fellowship of the Ring C2C Crochet Afghan. Keep in mind that this is an estimate. Differences in stitching tension and brand of yarn used will affect the amount of yarn you use.

These estimates are for all the blocks and panels, border sashing around each block, sewing the blocks together, and final borders.

~ Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice Yarn 3.5 oz skeins in the following colors (amounts are approximations rounded up to the whole ounce):

• Dusty Green (light green) — 39 ounces
• Chocolate (brown) — 19 ounces
• Beige — 16 ounces
• Mustard (yellow) — 7 ounces
• Honey (tan) — 6 ounces
• White — 5 ounces
• Rust — 5 ounces
• Silver Grey (light grey) — 2 ounces
• Olive (dark green) — 2 ounces
• Black — 1 ounce
• Charcoal (dark grey) — 1 ounce
• Silver Blue (light blue) — 1 ounce
• Scarlet (red) — 1 ounce
• Cranberry (dark red) — 1 ounce

I hope you love stitching this blanket. It is always a delight to see favorite characters come to life under my hook: Aragorn, Gimli, Frodo, Boromir, and all the members of the Fellowship.

Stitch happy!
