Simple Earthy Squares Afghan

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®

GAUGE:

5 1/2 stitches + 4 1/2 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in half double crochet. 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.

STRIP 1
With A, chain 15.
Row 1: Half double crochet in 3rd chain from hook and each chain across - 13 stitches.
Rows 2-11: Chain 2, turn, half double crochet in each half double crochet across.
Change to B (join B with slip stitch in first stitch of next row, fasten off A) and work 11 rows in half double crochet.
Change to C and work 11 rows in half double crochet.
