Pattern for Interlocking Rings Afghan

[FootballMom]

I saw a lady working on an interlocking rings afghan in my favorite hangout (AC Moore) 2 wks ago. The store in my area has some nice comfy genuine "fake leather" chairs in a circle in the yarn area. Some people just go sit and do their projects. I was thinking about it for days, I was so intrigued. So I went back and looked at every crochet book there was to no avail. Even found the teacher who does the crochet classes and she couldn't find anything. I have surfed the net and this site, and came up with NOTHING.

The pattern is in strips, like a mile a minute one. I have already made a strip of interlocking rings on my own, which wasn't hard to figure out. But what do I do next? If anyone can steer me to a pattern online or tell me what book to buy, I would appreciate it. Maybe then I coud get some sleep, as I keep dreaming about this darn blanket. I think I, like many of you, am suffering from crochet OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).

Thanks all!!! :hook

There's supposed to be an adult size rings afghan in this book:

I don't know if there is one on the internet. The pattern is called Baby Rings. It can be made any size by adding more rings and more strips. I have used scraps to make 2 of theses afghans. The pattern comes from an Annie's Attic Leaflet # 2688. It is quite old. Copyright is 1990. Hope this helps.

AA brought that book back into print after so many asked after it. It is a wonderful book. I have made a few of the afghans from it for little ones

WOW! You guys are amazing, and really fast too. Several responses within the hour. I am so glad I joined Crochetville. Everyone is so nice and helpful. The Annie's Attic Baby Blanket Book is probably the closest interlocking ring afghan to the one I saw. On my way to the supermarket, I detoured over to AC Moore to check out their books...they do have some Annie's books there, but alas, not this one. But I spoke with the manager, and he will find out tomorrow if he can order it. If not, I guess I will have to put together an Annie's order (oh my, :cry isn't that sad?) to make the shipping worth my while.

Thanks again!

Hi!
I would also keep an eye on eBay for Annies Attic patterns. They are usually much cheaper than with the steep shipping you will pay at AA.
Good Luck!

Its in blue ribbon afghans from america's state fairs too if you own that also has some other great patterns. I just checked it out at the library and now i want to own it. lol

Ok so my fiance just bought me the book for this pattern off ebay today its the one that was in one of the earlier posts i cant wait to get the book and try it out .... so excited...

I think I know the pattern you are looking for. It is called "Around We Go" and it is in the Annie's Attic book called "Mile-A-Minute Afghans" (Crochet Treasury) series. I used to have the pattern and couldn't find it anywhere either until today. I just ordered it from amazon.com. The pattern is #40 in the book.

I almost started this pattern this weekend when I was looking for a new project...but then I realized how many ends there would be :rofl so if anyone has a goodway to do this without ending the different colors let me know.
