Step back into the charm of classic chenille bedspreads with this lovely 1999 pattern book, Crochet Faux Chenille Afghans™, designed by Maggie Weldon for The Needlecraft Shop.

This out-of-print collection features five fabulous floral afghans stitched in soft terry worsted-weight yarn that creates a beautiful faux chenille texture — cozy, velvety, and perfect for cuddling. Each design is worked in soft white with pretty floral accents, making them feminine enough for a guest room yet neutral enough for the whole family to enjoy.

Inside you’ll find:

• Squares — a large 52" × 72" afghan with delicate flowers and leaves
• Stripes — a fringed beauty with scattered blooms
• Rose — romantic rose motifs scattered across a soft field
• Waves — a flowing pattern with roses and cheerful tassels
• Heart — sweet heart-shaped motifs accented with roses

All five afghans are worked in the same soft white base with gentle pops of color, giving them a coordinated, heirloom look. The terry yarn gives these blankets a wonderfully plush, chenille-like feel while remaining easy to care for. Whether you’re making a wedding gift, a housewarming present, or a special afghan for your own home, this collection offers timeless floral designs with a cozy, vintage-inspired twist.
