6-Hour Afghan
Lion Brand® Homespun®
GAUGE: 4 stitches = 4 in. [10 cm] in Stockinette stitch (knit on right side rows, purl on wrong side rows) with 4 strands of yarn held together.
NOTE Due to the nature of the fabric when working with Speed Stix, gauge may vary throughout the knitting and is not crucial to this project.
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: Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends,
knit or
crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.

| 6-Hour Afghan Reviewed by Marilyn Simon on 2011-01-01 |

| I have made two of these afghans. I changed the paatern a bit by knitting the first four rows and the last four rows and knitted three stiches at the beginning and end of each row. Because of the changes I didn't feel like I needed to add the fringe and the afghans look wonderful. This project is great for beginners, but learning how to use the larger needles does take awhile to get to use to.
