Intarsia Brocade Afghan
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®
GAUGE:
11 sts + 8 1/2 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in hdc. 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 st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st. Use separate ball of yarn for each large block of color.

Intarsia Brocade Afghan Reviewed by Judy Malyk on 2012-05-10
This looks like a very interesting pattern. I like that the flowers are crochet right in the pattern and not done afterwards.
