A Special Gift: Ashton’s Wolf Pattern Now Free
Sometimes a pattern isn’t just stitches and yarn—it’s a little piece of your heart woven into every square. That’s how I feel about this wolf afghan pattern I originally made for my grandson, Ashton Wolfe.
Ashton has been in the NICU for about 5 weeks now, and as of this writing, we’re hoping he’ll finally get to go home to his mom and dad in February 2025. The strength and resilience this little boy has already shown reminds me of the quiet strength of a wolf—strong, protective, and full of spirit.
To honor Ashton and share a bit of his story, I’ve decided to make this pattern free on the website. It’s my way of spreading a little love and hope to you all, just as Ashton has brought so much love into our lives.
Whether you’re making this blanket for someone special or just because you love wolves, I hope it brings warmth, comfort, and joy—just like I imagine it will for Ashton one day when he’s wrapped up in his very own afghan.
You can find the free wolf pattern below—I can’t wait to see how yours turns out. If you make it, feel free to share your finished photos with me; they always brighten my day!
Thank you for being part of this journey with me and for keeping Ashton in your thoughts. Here’s to strong little fighters and the people who love them. 💕
Happy Crocheting,
