Just Ducky Baby Afghan
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice® Baby
GAUGE: 18 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with larger needles. 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: 1. Lines and motifs are worked in duplicate st after Afghan is knitted. Lines form a grid that is 5 blocks wide and 7 blocks high. Motifs are worked in alternate blocks.
2. Circular needles are used to accommodate large number of stitches. Work back and forth as If working on straight needles.

| Just Ducky Baby Afghan Reviewed by therese kelley on 2011-03-30 |

I finally finished my Ducky Afghan and it's beautiful! I had no problems following the grid but that may be because I embroider, including counted cross stitch. However, none of the designs are that complicated. My BIG problem was embroidering the horizontal green lines and keeping them straight; the vertical lines were easy to embroider. If I ever do the blanket again, I have an idea on getting the horizontal lines in easier.
My suggestion on skill level is to keep it as "Easy" because the blanket is a plain knit, pearl. I would, though, emphasize that it would be easier to complete if you have some embroidery knowledge.
