Light Spectrum Afghan
Lion Brand® Silky Twist
GAUGE: 10 stitches + 16 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter stitch (knit every row). 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. Panels are worked in Garter stitch (knit every row), changing color to create stripes. To change color, cut the old color leaving an end about 8 in. (20 cm) long, then begin working with new color, leaving a long tail on the new color as well. If you like, you may knot the old and new yarn tails together. When you have finished knitting the Panel, unknot the ends and weave them into the Panel.
2. 7 Panels are knit, then sewed together to make the Afghan.
3. Since this design does not include a border, you may wish to slip the first stitch of every row to keep the sides of the Panels neat.

| Light Spectrum Afghan Reviewed by Christine on 2012-11-25 |

I only gave 4 stars because I wish the pattern would have used up more of the yarn. With 12 skeins, it makes sense to use up as much as possible. I did modify this with casting on 18, knitting 13 long rows, and 7 short rows for each panel. Still having a lot of yarn left over, I made a foot pocket for the bottom of the afgahn.
Cast on 54 of the Teal, knitting 22 rows, then 6 rows of the remaining colors. This did use up much of the leftover yarn. Nice, soft yarn. Turned out nice!
