Arkansas Razorbacks graph

The Arkansas razorbacks logo has always been pretty much the same, but more refined over the years.  Rather than graph out the running hog, I chose to do a frontal view of his face.  If you really want me to, I can do the proper logo. I just kinda think that face looks fierce.  Am I right?

Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills have an amazing logo in my opinion!  I mean, it's a little obvious, they're in Buffalo and their logo is a buffalo...

But look at it! The strength of the leaping buffalo, the perception of motion, and of course the red white and blue colors are always attractive!

This graph was made to create a twin size afghan when using 2 dc per graph square and an H hook.  I'd suggest working it from the short side to avoid too many color changes.  I like to use a method called intarsia where I leave the unused color hanging and pick up the new.  You can see photos of this method in this blog post.  If you'd like the pdf of the graph you can go to kendrascrochetedcreations.com and save orprintright from your browser.  If you'd like me to make you one, I can do that too.

Vikings football graph

ask for Vikings ball

I've attracted a lot of attention over the years with my Green Bay packer afghan (found here).  Eventually a Green Bay fan asked me if I could make this one,  with the football as the main focus.  Fast forward to last week and I was asked if I could use that one to make a Vikings version!  This is what I came up with.  I'm wondering if I should try again with a larger font to take up more space in the football (if you looked at the Packers one, it takes up most of the ball!) or if it's better this way where it looks like a printed logo.  What do you think?   Let me know!

Also, I'm not 100% happy with the V.  I tried and tried to make it looks better but this is honestly the best I could do (without remaking the whole thing bigger - which, as I said, is definitely an option).

Another thing that sort of bothers me is the background color.   I couldn't find a purple that I thought looked suitable for the Vikings so I came as close as I could thinking that if anyone made it they'd have to decide what color yarn to pick up anyway so it would be ok.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure my computer is color calibrated anymore (or maybe my tablet and phone aren't) because sometimes when I look at it, it's red! 

Back to the point: if you want the pdf of this free graph, go to kendrascrochetedcreations.com and you can save or print right from your browser.  I'd use an H hook and 2 dc per graph square to make a twin sized afghan, or you can add 40  graph squares on each end (to make it 200 across) and 30 to the top and bottom (to make it 150) and use a J hook and 1 sc per graph square to get a 5 x 6 ft throw instead. 

If you make one, please share a photo with me!  If you post it to social media, please credit me with the design.  If you'd like me to make you one, I can do that too! Just email me at kendra@kendrascrochetedcreations.com for pricing.

Washington Redskins

I always wondered who the Washington Redskins primary logo was modeled after, but after finding out one of the prominent Native American leaders at the time helped design the logo, I'm not surprised how well it looks!  The "tucked" feathers were a result of the helmet decals not sticking properly on the "hanging" feathers.

This graph will create a twin mattress top sized afghan when using an H hook and 2 dc per graph square.  To make a 4 x 5 throw (or maybe it's a 5 x 6...I honestly don't remember my dimensions!) use a J hook and 1 sc per square after adding 15 rows to each side and 5 to top and bottom. If you'd like to create your own afghan with the pdf, please email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Washington Redskins" in the subject line. Any questions should be in the body of the email.  If you'd like me to make you one, I can do that too!  Email me for pricing.

Have a fabulous day!

Indianapolis Colts

colts version 1

The use of the blue color in the Colts logo symbolizes excellence, class and strength, whereas the white color stands for its integrity and charm.

 The logo is a simple horseshoe rather than the colt "Blue" himself.  It makes sense, since Blue weighs 360 horseshoes, according to the Colts' official website. 😁

The horseshoe is seen on the helmets of the Indianapolis Colts. I created 2 versions of it for you, one plain with only the horseshoe, and the next with the white stripes on the edges and the word "Colts" underneath. The second version is a larger graph and made for a throw. Choose which color you want for your background and which you want for the design. 

colts version 2

For the 1st version, use an H hook and 2 dc  per graph square to get a 3.5 x 6.5 ft throw, about the size of a twin bed mattress top.  If you'd like a different size, please let me know and I'll do my best to make it up for you.  The second version uses a J hook and 1 sc per graph square.   If you'd like to request the pdf of either of these graphs, please email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with whichever version you like in the subject line (colts version 1 or colts version 2).  If you'd like me to make it for you, I can do that too!  Email me with a request for pricing and I'll get it to you.   

San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers is one of the few teams who haven't drastically changed their logo in decades.  It started out in 1946 as this guy here:

Can you imagine trying to crochet this guy?  Whoo!  I like the one they chose and varied very slightly from 1968. Much clearer and easier to make.  A simple Scarlett oval with intertwined white SF and black and gold outline.

Green Bay Packers version 2

I've had a lot of interest on my Green Bay Packers graph found here but one customer wated to try something different after she had tackled and conquered that pattern.  This was the idea she had and this was how it turned out.  Use an H hook and 2 dc per graph square to get a twin-mattress top sized throw (without border) or increase the rows by 15 on each side and 5 on top and bottom to crochet with a J hook order to get a 4 x 5 ft throw.  If you'd like the pdf version on this graph, email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Green bay version 2" in the subject line.  I'd suggest working this pattern from the short side because it has text in it and it will cut down on the color changes and save time and frustration!  Let me know if you like it in the comments below, or you're welcome to use the share buttons below this post, but please credit me with the design.

Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks are an NFL team with Blitz the Seahawk as part of the team's logo. He enjoys rousing up crowds and daredevil stunts.  His sidekick, Boom, doesn't feature in this graph.

I created this graph for a fan who decided at the last minute she wanted something different so I never got the chance to make it.  It's for a smaller throw that my usual mattress-top sized afghans but having not made it, I can't be specific.  Use an H hook and 2 dc per graph square to get a decent size throw.  Try chaining the length and see if it's big enough for your taste, then add stitches to each end as necessary to make it the size you prefer.  If you would like the pdf of this graph, please email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Seattle Seahawks" in the subject line.

Lisa sent me these finished photos.  she said that she used
2 super sized skeins of royal blue
1 regular skein of royal blue
1 skein white
1 skein gray
1 skein green

Thanks for the finished photos, Lisa, they look great!

New Orleans Saints

Fleur de Lis, plain

I made a few different versions of the New Orleans' Saints Fleur de Lis before I and my correspondent, who was desperate to make one, were happy with it.  The first was a black background with a gold Fleur de Lis. Very simple, very understated, very "elegant" was my thought.  "Lone tumbleweed in the desert" was hers.  Plus, a black background was difficult for anyone to see the grid lines on. Change that to gold.

Fleur de Lis, text

"Add some text" was her next thought.  So I put in the word "Saints" above (and another version with the text  below, but I didn't want to overwhelm you with too many photos-I think maybe she liked the text below better)!  "Better," she told me.  But still too plain.  What to do next?  She sent me a picture.  A large, black Fleur de Lis behind an upright, smaller, gold one with large lettering of "SAINTS" above and in the foreground.  "That's going to take some time," I told her.  She was excited at the prospect of it working and was willing to wait.  Within a few days I sent her this:

Fleur de Lis, fancy

Guess what?  She loved it!  I do too, but I think it would be a bit complicated to work up. So very many color changes and you know what that means!  Every opportunity for knots to invade our personal space and destroy what we've worked so hard to accomplish.  That's why I say to work it from the side - to cut down on the color changes all happening in the same rows.

If you'd like to receive a pdf of any of these graphs, email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with the caption under the photo you want as the subject line.  For example if you want the plain black one at the top of the page, the subject will be "Fleur de Lis, plain."  Any questions should be in the body of the email. These are meant to be made using 2 DC per graph square with an H hook to get an afghan about twin sized.

Baltimore Ravens graph

Poe, the official mascot of the Baltimore Ravens, looks pretty fierce in this graph of the NFL team's logo.  When not cheering on his favorite team in purple, Poe enjoys hugging children in hospitals, visiting birthday parties, and bringing fun to area schools!  Get him on the home field, though, and he'll tell you to "play like a raven!"

Finished version.

Crochet this afghan using an H hook and 2 dc per graph square to get a twin-mattress-top sized throw.  To make it a bedspread, add several rows of dc border in the colors used in the main part of the blanket. To get a smaller sized throw, use a J hook and increase the rows by 15 on each side and 5 on top and bottom.  Use 1 sc per graph square.  To get a pdf of this graph, send an email to kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Baltimore Ravens" in the subject line.  Any questions should be in the body of the email.   Leave your thoughts in the comments below and please click the share buttons, but remember to credit me with the design.  I do make items to sell, also, so if you'd like me to make it for you, contact me at the above email about prices and shipping.

A new version with text.  Ask for "Ravens Text" in your email request.

Oakland Raiders

This NFL team hails from California and has a rather fiddly design in the middle (look at the detail in the face!) so I'd recommend starting from the long side when you crochet this one.  Use a J hook and 1 sc per graph square to get a small throw, or use an H hook and 2 dc per graph square to get a twin size bedspread. Email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com for the pdf with "Oakland Raiders" in the subject line and any questions in the body of the email.  If you've made this graph please email me a photo and maybe I'll feature you on my Facebook page or show it off here!  Alternatively, you can post it to Instagram and tag #kendrascrochetedcreations and I'll give you a shoutout in thanks.

Michigan Wolverines

The University of Michigan has a special place in my heart.  Michigan is my home state, I have a cousin in attendance at U of M, and my brother got his kidney/pancreas transplant at the hospital there, which U.S. News and World and Report ranks at number one in Michigan, and number 6 nationally! Go Blue!

This graph is 90 by 120 squares, which, when using an H hook and 2 dc per graph square, will give you a twin-mattress-top-sized throw. Due to the nature of the logo in the middle, it will be finicky to crochet from the short side, so I'd suggest working it from the long side instead to avoid the inevitable tangles occurring in the middle. The intarsia crochet method I use also keeps the colors from showing through between the letters like they would with tapestry crochet.  If you'd like this graph, please email me for a copy at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Michigan Wolverines graph" in the subject line.  Any questions should be in the body of the email.

Iowa Hawkeyes

Herky the Hawk is the University of Iowa's mascot.  Crochet this college football team's logo in black and white as shown or choose the school colors of  black and gold. Using 2 dc per graph square with an H hook will give you a throw about the size of a twin mattress top. If you'd like to request the pdf, please email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with Iowa Hawkeyes (for the top graph) or Iowa Hawkeyes 2 (for the bottom graph) in the subject line. Please put any comments or questions in the body of the email.  

If you are nervous about the lettering, I'd suggest either working the blanket from the short side (this seriously cuts down on color changes!) or leaving out the lettering if you want only the logo.  If you leave out the lettering, request the top graph so your logo will be in the center. I use a method called "intarsia" to keep the colors from showing through between sections.  See this blog post to read about how I do this (includes photos).

Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos are another NFL team whose logo I love!  What a gorgeous animal!  This graph is made to create an afghan about twin mattress top sized when using an H hook and 2 dc per graph square. If you'd like a 4 x 5 foot throw, add 15 rows to each side and 5 to the top and bottom.  use a J hook and 1 sc per graph square. There is no pesky text on this graph, but if you'd like me to add it, please ask!

If you have a completed photo made from this graph, please send it to me so I can possibly feature it here or on my Facebook page.  You can also post photos of your completed projects on my Facebook page yourself!  I love to see them! You are welcome to sell your completed items, but not the graph or to claim the graph as your own.  When reposting, please credit me with the design.

Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys graph.  Using 2 dc per graph square with an H hook give you a large throw, about twin mattress top sized. To make a throw that's about 4 x 5 foot, use a J hook and 1 sc per graph square, adding 5 rows on either side and 15 to top and bottom.  To get the pdf, email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Dallas Cowboys graph" in the subject line and any questions you have in the body of the email.  If you made this pattern, please send  me a photo and I"ll possibly feature it here or on my Faceook page.

Cleveland Browns

Another NFL team graph for today!  I adore the expression on the Cleveland Browns' logo!  When using an H hook and 2 dc per graph square, you should get a twin sized afghan, for overhang, put a few rows of dc border around the edges.  For a throw size, add 15 rows to each side and use a J hook with 1 sc per graph square.  I'd suggest working it from the short side so you do't have to keep changing colors in the lettering. If you'd like to request this graph, email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Cleveland Browns graph" in the subject line. Any questions should be in the body of your email and I'll get it to you usually within a couple days.  Leave your opinions and thoughts in the comments below!  Feel free to share, pin, and repost (please give the credit to the graph design to me!)

Carolina Panthers

Carolina Panthers is a graph without text, but with what I consider a dynamic photo!  What a stunning logo for a team!  This graph was created to make a twin mattress-top sized throw, easily converted to  a bedspread (by adding several rows of border) or enlarged for a full sized bed (by adding 15 rows to the top and bottom of the logo to make the graph a square).  Use an H hook and 2 dc per graph square to gt these sizes. To make a throw size, add 5 rows to top and bottom, and 15 to each side and use 1 sc per graph square with a J hook.    If you like my graphs, please let me know in the comments,or email me with your requests at kendrascrochet@gmail.com and I'll send you a pdf.

Thanks for the finished photo, Lori!  It looks fabulous!  Great work.

Chicago Bears

One of my dad's favorite teams is the Chicago Bears. I made this with him in mind and look forward to actually using the graph to make the afghan!  If anyone has made it, please send me a photo and maybe I'll feature it here.  To make this graph, use 2 dc per graph square with an H hook to get a twin mattress sized throw.  Add a few rows of border to make a bedspread for the twin mattress.  If you want a 4 x 5 ft throw, add 2 rows on each side and 15 rows to the top and bottom, keeping to the color pattern.  Use 1 sc per graph square and an J hook.  I have fixed the email problem so I will get notifications if you leave comments.  I would suggest starting at the long side to avoid a lot of color changes happening at the same time.  To get started, count the number of stitches along the edge were you'll begin.  Double that number and add 1 more.  Start your dc in the 3rd ch from the hook. Each row of crochet is 1 row of graph squares.

Atlanta Falcons graph
