Mix And Match Afghan
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®
GAUGE:
12 sc + 14 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.
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.

Mix And Match Afghan Reviewed by nicole smith on 2011-02-08
This was my first crochet blanket, and it turned out great! Very easy to follow pattern. I even used different weights and materials of yarns to use up scraps, and it still ended up very nice and even. I skipped the edge decorative stitches.
