The first time I saw a circular crochet pattern I was in awe. They are just so cool. I made a couple as baby blankets and the moms loved them dearly. This one here is really fancy and I like the stain glass affect. This would be a keeper for sure and not one I would want to give away.

As many times as I have seen the circular crochet patterns, I have yet to make one. I stumbled upon this one and the designer used "my colors" so this must be the one that I am destined to make. It has been a while since I have been excited about starting a new project. So it is off to the craft store to purchase the necessary materials. Thanks for the free pattern .

I love the look of this pattern! I have never seen anything like it, which is somewhat surprising considering all the patterns I have seen lately. I love how it really looks like a stain glass window. I am wondering how this would look in a different variegated yarn, such as pinks or yellows. I am sure it would be amazing! I can't wait to get started on this pattern, when I'm done with all the other projects I have on my list currently.

Absolutely stunning! Please do not be discouraged by the fact that it looks complicated. It really is very easy .Sadly my PC does not want to allow me to upload photos on to this site but I have just completed this project and it is really gorgeousl! Just begin and follow the pattern. If you read the whole thing at once it seems daunting but if you do it bit by bit it works out beautifully. Promise!

This pattern (final product) looks amazing! Its motivating to see that others have made this, but I imagine this would take me quite a while to finish. Its considered an easy pattern, but skimming through the pattern makes it seem quite complicated, especially with the chart (it reminds me of filet crochet). I think if I were to attempt to make this pattern, it would be easier to go through.

I made this for my brother and his new wife a few years back for a wedding gift. It was beautiful, heavy and very large. Made one for myself as well. This is a go to on those cold winter nights!! Love the pattern.

I am making right now but having trouble carrying over the black for the mid-panel stripe. Did your back not look good? Do you have a picture of your afghans back so I know if I am on the right track or any suggestions? Thanks riverlife03@gmail.com

I have been trying to print the pattern for the round stained-glass afghan but to no avail. I have tried everything I know. Please help. Also, I do not understand what I am supposed to do with the "avatar"? lilliangourd

I do a copy/paste to a word document of the entire instruction and save to a thumb drive. That way I can print it out.

this is a beautiful pattern and I hope to make it one day. I agree with the ladies who have already commented.. the pictures are small. In my needlework group there is a blind lady who crochets along with us. Her daughter gets her started and she just sets about crocheting her project. It's interesting to watch her. Hope my eyes will hold out while I still enjoy crocheting.

If you hold down ctrl and click on + the image will get larger and then hold down ctrl and click on _ the image will get smaller.

I too wish that many of the images on this site were bigger. I have severe loss of vision and usually need a magnifier during my crocheting, so for my legally blind eyes these images are mere blobs.

Can you make the images a little bit bigger ? Old eyes.
