GAUGE:

Rnds 1 and 2 = 4 in. (10 cm) in diameter. 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.

Stratford Circle Afghan Reviewed by Darlene on 2009-10-27
This is a fast, wonderful afghan to make. The one I made was the first circle afghan I have ever tried to make and the instructions are wonderful to follow. I changed the colors of yarn to suit my Living Room decor and everyone just loves it. I am making one for my Dad for Christmas that is in black and gold since he likes the Pittsburgh Steelers. What I also like is that the afghan can be made larger just by continuing the pattern. This is a great afghan!!!!
