Catch the Wave Afghan
Lion Brand® Homespun®
GAUGE: 12 st = 4" (10 cm) in Wave stitch pattern; each 12-row Wave = 3¼"
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 love this pattern! A beautiful easy effect. It's easy enough that I don't have to keep referring to the pattern, but interesting enough that I don't get bored.
And I love Lion Homespun yarn! The color variation is so pretty, and the coarse texture hides my mistakes.
Tip: I put markers every 11 sts (13 beg and end of row) so I can catch and fix my mistakes without major unraveling.
