Modern Alchemy Afghan
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®
GAUGE:
One 3-dc group = 1 in. (2.5 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 st of old color to last yarn over; yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook. Fasten off old color.
COLOR SEQUENCE
Work 2 rows each of A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
AFGHAN
With A, ch 183.
Row 1: Work 2 dc in 4th ch from hook (beg ch counts as first dc here and throughout), *sk 3 ch, sc in next ch, ch 3, dc in each of next 3 ch (3-dc group made); rep from * to last 4 ch, sk 3 ch, sc in last ch — 26 (3-dc groups) at the end of this row.
Row 2: Ch 3, turn, work 2 dc in first sc, *sk 3 dc, sc in first ch of ch-3 sp, ch 3, dc in each of next 2 ch, dc in next sc; rep from * to last 3-dc group, end sk 2 dc, sc in top of turning ch.

Ratings and Reviews
Modern Alchemy Afghan Reviewed by Joan Youngblood on 2013-01-23
I made this afghan and it came out very nice. The colors go with everything, even if you were to change the decore of your room it would still fit in. In fact it could go from bedroom to living room. Nice and warm on these cold nights of 4 below zero here in Northern Michigan.
