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.

| Catch the Wave Afghan Reviewed by ali zimmerman on 2009-03-20 |

| I've made this once in Dusty Blue, Windsor, and Blue Sky. I was a beginning knitter at the time so it was a little hard for me to work the pattern at first -- the result has several holes. I'm making it again now as an advanced knitter and it is so easy and wonderful to knit! My current colors are Meadow, Olive, and Herb Garden, which is creating a fantastic camouflage look for my stepson. I'm already coming up with the color combinations I'm going to use for the next three of these I make!
