Fraser Crochet Tartan Afghan Pattern
Fraser Tartan, Source: Wikipedia
Fraser Clan Tartan
This is the most popular Fraser pattern today. D. W. Stewart contends that this is, in fact, an early Grant tartan, which he traced to a portrait of Robert Grant of Lurg (1678-1771) hanging at Troup House before it was closed around 1894.. However, W. and A. Smith of Mauchline wrote, “We addressed Lord Lovat on the subject of the Frazer Tartan, who writes, ‘I many years ago took a great deal of trouble to find out the old set and I ascertained, beyond all doubt, from the evidence of old people and old plaids, that the Frazer Tartan, previous to the year 1745, was the same pattern I now send you.’”
About Your Crochet Tartan Afghan
The tartan pattern uses medium weight acrylic knitting/crochet yarn. Finished size of the afghan is 44” x 65”.
All stitches are single crochet (sc). To allow for the combination of two colors in one stitch and make a tartan-like afghan, two strands of yarn are used in each stitch. Because up to 4 skeins of yarn will be used at a time while crocheting the afghan, the pattern is recommended for advanced crocheters.

Please refer to the samples pictured on the Product Samples page for an example of how the finished product will look.
