Does anyone have a crochet pattern for a wedding ring afghan? I have 2 weddings this fall and I think this would be a great gift.

Two "great" sites to check out are:
knittingpatterncentral.com and crochetpatterncentral.com
They both have a huge variety of listings under their "Free Pattern Directory". If you can't find it there, just type in "Double Wedding Ring afghan" into your search bar and maybe you can find instructions
from there. Good luck. (08/12/2007)

I purchased a book from Annie's Attic (Annie's Favorite Afghans) which has a crocheted double wedding ring on page 22. I don't know if it is still in print as it was copyrighted 1996. (02/14/2008)

The Leisure Arts book #2263 has three crocheted designs by Mary Ann Sipes. One of them is the Double Wedding Ring. I have made two of these and they turn out very nice.
