Tree Bark Throw
Design by Cindy Adams
This afghan just makes me want to curl up and read. It’s worked in a dimensional cluster pattern, which is fairly easy to master, and gives wonderful texture to the lush, tweed-mix yarn. Designer Cindy Adams has created a warm and snuggly afghan that is great for everyone in the family.

Looks like this would make a wonderful wheelchair-lap afghan, which I usually make about 29-30in wide. The suggested yarn looks beautiful in this stitch. Thank-you!
Thanks, a new project for this season.
kdwyer101, me too, i have same problem, could not get it to download. No pleased.

how do you do the special stitch? I’ve looked for it but the notes seem to have not downloaded. so very confused. it looks like a nice afghan though.
A description of the special stitch is included with the pattern under the heading “Special Stitch” just before the pattern instructions begin.
Is there a video of the cluster stitch? A cluster around a dc is new to me.
Can you tell me where to purchase stitch markers that work well for crochet ? There seem to be alot suited to knitting.
You may want to try the split/lock markers. Here’s a link to those on the AnniesCatalog.com website http://www.anniescatalog.com/notions_and_supplies/detail.html?prod_id=4191&cat_id=1211.
Just finished making this afghan and it is a lovely one! And the afghan pattern and color does look like the bark on one of our trees!! This is an easy pattern and nicely textured. Thanks!
I had no problems downloading this pattern. I would suggest you make sure you are logged in or registered and then the Download Free Pattern link appears. Good luck!
I’ve enjoyed patterns in the past from K&CN. Will look forward to other patterns. Still, having to register again within WP doesn’t lend itself to following along…just giving feedback for this sight.
I would like to see this pattern used to create a jacket or sweater. It’s really beautiful. Thanks!
I’ve registered and l am logged in and can’t download the pattern. I really want it. Any suggestions?
I am confused about Row 4 of this pattern. It says Ch 4 and then dc in ch1-sp before cl. I do not have a ch 1 sp before the first cl due to turning the afghan and reversing the order from Row 3. Also, should row 5 have 124 dc plus turning chain when complete?
Excellent pattern, no problems downloading & complete directions for all stitches. Can’t wait to start! Thanks
It is an excellent pattern. I worked out what I was misunderstanding and it is beautiful.
In order for the 2nd row to work, shouldn’t there be an odd number of dc’s in the first row? I think the starting chain s/b in multiples of 4, plus 3, so it would start with 127 chains resulting in 125 dc’s. I used the foundation double crochet for the first row. I loved the way the FDC was done on one of the show’s episodes. On YouTube you can find it done the same way by DiamondCrochet.
