Washed Ashore Afghan

Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

Rnds 1-2 = about 4 in. (10 cm) across. 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.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

inc-shell Work (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in indicated ch-sp.

NOTES:

Afghan is worked in rnds, changing color every 3 rnds.

Washed Ashore Afghan Reviewed by Disa on 2012-02-03 *****
I'm making this afghan for my daughter with pinks and purples. I'm almost finished and my daughter is very excited. We particularly love the round pattern. I'm finding it rather easy to crochet. I'll post a picture and final comments when I'm done.
