GAUGE:
10 dc + 5.5 rows = 4 in. (10 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.

To change color, work last st until 2 loops remain on hook, yo with new color to complete st.
Use a separate ball for each color section.

Downloadable Pattern: Argyle Crochet Afghan Reviewed by Pam Ament on 2010-01-25
Wow! What a fun pattern. The instructions don't mention it but, I kept all colors in a row attached (up to 9), so changes were fast and easy. As you work you can see there are lots of ways to vary the pattern. One would be to start on the last row and go past the 4 small diamonds until they are in the center, or make more small diamonds.
I used "Vanna's Choice" yarn and kept going past the end till I ran out of yarn.
