Lion Brand® Jiffy®

GAUGE:

10 sc + 12 rows = 4 inches (10 cm).

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.


With MC, ch 76.  Sc into the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across – 75 sts.  Ch 1, turn.


Work in sc, following chart.  When chart is complete, fasten off.


BORDER
With RS facing, join MC with a slip st in any corner.  Work 73 sc evenly spaced along
the top and bottom; 100 sc evenly spaced  along the sides; and 3 sc in each corner.  Break off MC.  Join C and work 5 rnds in sc, working 3 sc in each corner, each rnd.  Break off C.  Join MC, ch 1, work 1 sc in each of next 3 sc, *(ch 3, slip st in first ch) picot made, 1 sc in each of next 3 sc; rep from * around, adjusting sts so that picot is in each corner.


Join with slip st to beg ch.  Fasten off

Crochet Counting Sheep Afghan Reviewed by Meg Cummins on 2010-07-13 ****
works out to a beautiful blanket. i made it 10 stitches larger on both sides because it comes out more like a towel than a blanket otherwise. it needs a backing because the back shows the work, and it took me forever (i'm not that quick of a crafter) but my friend loved it.
