40+ Modern Crochet Afghan Patterns

It’s kind of amazing how crochet is modernizing, isn’t it? Check out these 40+ modern crochet afghan patterns that are sure to catch your eye!

With the surge in popularity in crochet, there has also been a huge modernization in the designs out there. Modern afghans can be a cool color twist on a classic, the inclusion of current trends like tassels, or sometimes it’s a combination of stitches done just a little bit differently. But no matter how you slice it, these projects I’m about to share are my absolute favorite modern crochet afghans I’ve found online. Most are free but a few are paid and I love them so much I think they are worth the cost. Any project that is not free will have the price (correct as of publishing but liable to change) below the image.

Pinning has been turned off for all images below. Please be kind and click through to these amazing projects and pin them from their original source. It’s an easy way to say thanks to these amazing designers for all of their hard work! Thanks!
