In the TV reality show Breaking Amish, the character or the mom's name is Mary. She is seen in several episodes crocheting this particular pattern. Does anyone know its name or have the pattern? She is seen crocheting it while she is visiting her son in Florida. Also seen in other episodes back at her home in PA. I have had suggestions of Mountain Mist, Lacy Chevron and V Stitch Ripple, all close but not it. Could it be a variation of one if those patterns? In any case I am desperate to find it after two full months of searching and many emails with suggestions. Some who watches this program may have noticed her crocheting it. Please help me find it. I already contacted the studio but no luck. I will be very grateful to whomever can name it or has a written pattern. TYVM. jeffrey

It is beautiful but I think also the colour combinations contribute a lot to it so possibly those could be copied in a similar pattern. Just my opinion but I would like to try this.

There is one that I have in a pattern book: 6 Cozy Afghans, printed by American School of Needlework. It is called Afternoon Shadows Afghan by Eleanor Albano-Miles. Looks very similar to what you are looking for.

I must comment on your avatar. He/she is my greys twin. Gorgeous. I have also wondered what pattern 'Mary' is crocheting on that show. Maybe she will hear about our interest from someone and have them communicate this pattern to us.

I live in New Jersey and did not know about the program "Breaking Amish". Can you tell me what day, channel and time this is on? I love to watch these Amish programs and would love to know. Thank you.

Wish I could read charts. This is a gorgeous afghan. Looks very simple. The colors in the one submitted make the afghan IMHO. Bet Juneperk could figure it out.

Just saw this today, boy this pattern sure is making the rounds. I have had this pattern for years, and made several, and the color combo is the key. I am glad to see that it is in Ebook form.
