GAUGE:
Rnds 1-5 of square = 7 in. [18 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.
COLOR SEQUENCE
Work (1 rnd each of A, B, C and D).
To keep Afghan square, join new color in a different corner on each round.

Estell Manor Afghan Reviewed by Lindsay on 2012-08-18
Love the colors pictured, but it didn't look the same to me when I put the colors together in the store. I went with linen, taupe, dusty purple and antique rose. Turned out great. If you find that the corners start to warp and get out of shape and look weird, flip sides (RS/WS) every round. It helps to even it out.
