Subject: [NFB-Krafters-Korner] Crochet rectangle patterns from Warm Up America

Hi to all who are interested in crocheting rectangles for our afghan. We are making single rectangles that will be sewn together to raffle off at the
2020 national convention of the NFB.

If you are interested in creating rectangles for this project, please contact Jeannette to be placed on the list, or Jill to find out where to send your completed rectangles.

There is no minimum or maximum number of rectangles you must make. Make what you can and then please send them along.



Please use worsted weight acrylic yarn in solid colors in earth tones
including: light blue or green, cream, beige, Tan or brown.



Here are some patterns for crocheted rectangles I found on the Warm Up America site. Use these or create your own.
