I love the idea of this Afghan with Sleeves. I think this pattern could use a few more pictures showing how to sew the thing together. Has anyone made this and if so can you share how you put it together for the ones questioning? I haven't had the time to make it, but I'm thinking of making a child size one first to just try it. All in all I do like the stitch pattern used in this one. Thank you for sharing this one. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out..

I'm so lost on this project. Does anyone have pictures on wheat the different sections are supposed to look like?? I'm stuck on the front collar section. Also not sure how it's all supposed to fit together. Any help would be so greatly appreciated!!!

This is another project that deserves a five-star rating for its bright idea. I'm forever in awe of people who come up with new and novel ideas that make life easier and more convenient without breaking the bank or giving much effort. This Afghan with Sleeves Crochet Pattern is so beautiful and practical, you are not limited to just snuggle under an afghan when feeling cold. You can use this afghan and still be able to use your hands freely sitting or lying down on a couch. This is so lovely, it can be a perfect gift to your mom, sister, brother, grandma, any member of the family actually. Let's go and make this wrapghan.

This is my 'go-to' pattern for baby gifts. I bought the pattern book Red Heart's Snuggle Up! Includes 11 knit and crochet patterns in sizes for baby, youth, and extra tall. Everyone loves this unique gift of a car-seat/stroller "snugglie" that the child won't outgrow for a few years. It's intended to wear open at the back. Mine are not wide enough between the arms to wear backwards like a house-coat. Takes just under 2 balls and easy care machine wash dry. How easy is that?!

I want to make this for a big guy - what adjustment would I need to make to make a little wider?

The garment is left open at the back. You could sew it up the back from the hem to the beginning of the armholes (to make sure that there is room for you to get into it) and then put buttons and small loops at the neckline and the top of the collar to close it. It is described as a blanket with sleeves, so therefore doesnt fasten at the back.

When you are working the main part of the body, at the point where you separate the front from the back sections you work 45sts and THEN LEAVE 11 STITCHES WHICH DON'T GET WORKED ON ANY MORE. The same is done at the opposite armhole. When you have finished working the sleeves, the stitches across the top of the sleeve are matched to the armhole section from the point where you separated the front from the back sections AND THEN WORKED 26.5CM ALONG EACH SIDE OF THE ARMHOLE. The side edges of the rows worked after the markers at the upper edge of the sleeve, are matched to the stitches left unworked when you split the body into the front and back sections. The underarm seam for the sleeve is then sewn.

I should have read all the comments made here before I used a half of a ream of paper printing out the directions! I'd like to make it but I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it without someone knowledgable sitting by my side.

I too am confused but only when it comes to assembling the sleeves. I love the pattern of this with the combination of DC and SC. I am going to try to combine this pattern with another one I found with simpler sleeves. If any can heads or tails out of the sleeves and how to assemble them to the main body please email me @ goldieprine@sbcglobal.net Thanks

I agree with Jay henderson 1/1/10. I am completely confused with the Front and Left Back. I've done the right back, but can't figure out where it goes. It makes no sense to me. I talked with 2 other people who also could not figure it out. What am I missing? Do you have any pictures of the afghan as it is being crocheted?

Would you tell me what "pat" means in this pattern. I would love to make it. Thank you perculator49@hotmail.com

Pat means continue working in the same Pattern. i.e. in this one the pattern would be doing a double crochet then single crochet across the row or as instructed.

I love this pattern and there are several different styles on a few other name brand sites. I'm currently crocheting one from another site and it is so easy to do. I'm making it striped in earth tones, it's coming out beautiful!

If you turned it around and made a belt wouldn't that be a bath robe?

I made this for my youngest daughter for Christmas. It came out beautiful. She requested that I make a belt for it so she can wear it with the opening in the front and be able to walk around in it. I tried it on and realized I have to make one for myself. But first I have to make one for my other daughter. She is due for her third child in February and thought that it would be perfect to keep warm during late night feedings

This is a wonderful pattern. It works up easy, and so much better then those things you can buy "as seen on tv" for $20 each.....My family is going to love these for Christmas. The great thing about this pattern, is I have a lot of tall people in my family over 6'5", and now with this pattern I can add rows to make them longer to actually cover them up while there sitting. The "As seen on tv" ones, only came down to right above my husbands knees. lol, now how is that going to keep the rest of his legs and feet warm? HMMM great pattern. Thanks to who ever shared this with us! Forever grateful for this pattern.
