Diagonal-Striped Throw
Lion Brand® Homespun®
GAUGE: 10 sts = 4 inches (10 cm) in single crochet. 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.

I saw this pattern and yelled stash buster.
I am using worsted weight with a size I hook and couldn't be happier.
I just asked the grandkids what their favorite 2 colors were then grabbed all the shades I had of those colors and added leftover shades of white/ecru/off white, whatever seemed to suit the colors best.
I am using small pieces of leftover yarn as accent stripes. I start and stop the leftovers where they end up. I have a purple and pink one almost done and a black and blue one well on its way.
I am killing my stash fast
Of course as the other reviewer stated, I always have to adapt patterns to suit myself so I am working in the back loop only after I get to the five stitch row. This allows the one row stripes to show up better and the afghans look different on both sides.
Only problem I have is no one wanted a yellow, orange or brown in their afghans. I am thinking I'll make some square afghans using this pattern with those colors and give them to a nursing home or the local children's hospital.
Thanks for the great pattern.
