Leopard, Tiger or Lion Afghan

[Gracie Jo]

Hello everyone!:clap I am new to this site and I have spent many hours looking through all the patterns that are listed. You guy's have done a wonderful job. Keep up the good work!!:cheer I am in the process of redecorating my bedroom in an african theme. I have been all over the internet looking for a king size afghan with some type of leopard, tiger or lion design. Does someone know where I can go to find one?
Thanks a bunch!!

Here's a filet tiger chart...it can probably be worked in sc's or dc's to make a blanket.

Thank you so much for your help! My next question is how to make a filet crochet pattern into an afghan pattern.:blush Have any idea's?:think

I'd work it like a regular graph.

But first see what your gauge is with whatever yarn and hook you are using. Then you could either work the graph with one st per square or 2 sts per square.

Here's a link about crocheting from graphs that might help

Thank you so much for all your help!!:manyheart
I have saved both of these sites in my favorites.
I have been crocheting for many years but never tried a graph. Looks like a challenge but I'm up for it!!:D

One of Vanna White's afghan books had a cool lion afghan...don't remember the name of the book though...check your local library, that's where I got the book.

Thanks for the help! I found a thread that took me to a site where I can upload a picture of a tiger.

I also found this link after many, many hours of searching. If anyone is interested it is http://www.allfreecrafts.com/crochet/tiger.shtml
