The American Eagle 2 Graph is an ADVANCED level graph that uses tapestry crochet to create a highly detailed image of a majestic eagle in front of the American flag. At the bottom of this post, there is a free printable 6-page graph, but you have the option to buy more. Keep reading to find out what’s included!
You can use this pattern for tapestry crochet (sc), cross stitch, Tunisian crochet, knitting, cross stitch, plastic canvas, hama or pony beads, or any other craft that utilizes a graph. The finished product when using single crochets will be quite large—a large throw blanket.
Also note:
You can use this graph for corner to corner or mini or micro corner to corner, but please keep in mind that your finished product will be enormous. I highly recommend using the micro C2C if you’re determined to use this crochet method. Feel free to use the calculators below if you are interested in using C2C or mini or micro C2C to determine an approximate finished blanket size.
This is an ADVANCED level pattern that uses 12 different yarn colors. I do not offer yarn brand suggestions. You may have to use several brands in order to get different shades of the same color. Just make sure all of your skeins are the same yarn weight.
The graph is 270 squares high by 235 squares wide.
I’ve created some calculators for you to be able to determine how much yarn you need as well as an approximate finished size of your project. If you click the links below, you’ll be taken to different blog posts where the calculators are located.
