Glowing Colors Afghan

Lion Brand® Jiffy®

GAUGE:

8 stitches and 10 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch (knit on right side, purl on wrong side) with 2 strands of yarn held together. 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.

Glowing Colors Afghan Reviewed by Shayna Walenga on 2010-03-23 ****
This was so easy and fast. I did a panel each night after work. I also made a 4th panel to make it a little bigger.

I used the following for my 4th panel:
JB-14
BE-38
ED-6
DA-32
AF-14
FH-6
HC-30

I based the 4th panel on how much yarn I had left and what colors I thought would mix it up a little.

I do wish their were directions for sewing the panels together. I did the best I could, but I think it could have looked a little better.
