Parallel Bars Afghan
Lion Brand® Silky Twist
GAUGE: 16 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). 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: 1. Afghan is made of 3 Panels sewn together.
2. Each Panel is worked in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with Garter st (k every row) borders.

| Made this blanket. Once I got used to the yarn - it went smoothly and ended as a beautiful blanket. However, you need to buy 3 of the Ash mist and not 2 as written in the directions.
