GAUGE:
Square 1 = 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 in. (14 x 14 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 of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete stitch.

I loved the look of this afghan and so did my 17 year old son. It came out great. Just added some squares to make it a bit bigger
