Great Lengths Afghan

Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

Each completed square measures approximately 11" (28 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:

• Afghan is 4 squares by 5 squares, a total of 20 squares. There are 9 rounds in each square.
• Rounds 2, 4, and 6 – 9 are always worked in Yarn A.
• Make the following amounts in each color combination:
Round 1-B, Round 3-C, Round 5-D – 7 squares
Round 1-C, Round 3-D, Round 5-B – 7 squares
Round 1-D, Round 3-B, Round 5-C – 6 squares
