Royal Pet Afghan

Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

14 sts + 26 rows = 4 inches [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:

Afghan is made from four separate squares

AFGHAN

SQUARE - make 2 in A and 2 in B
Cast on 20 sts. Knit every row until piece measures 6 inches. Bind off as to knit.

Reviewed by Debra Miller on 2012-02-18 *****
I have made three of these two for my cats, one is a finicky Siamese , and a tabby. I made one for my sister's cat, whom is older. They came out so cute. I used soft washable yarn and the cats love it! It is a easy and since i'am a fairly new knitter, fun to do. Any knitter beginner or advanced will love what they can do for there lovable pets!
