Log Cabin Afghan
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®
GAUGE:
29 hdc = 10 in. (25.5 cm); 12 rows = 5 in. (12.5 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.
NOTES:
To change color, work last stitch until there are 3 loops on hook, yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete stitch.

Log Cabin Afghan Reviewed by Brianne Matlage on 2011-02-02
I love this pattern. No matter the colors you choose, it comes out beautifully. I am in the process of making my second log cabin afghan to give as a birthday gift. Great, easy pattern.
