You&#8217;ll need 3 balls each of Silver\/Charcoal and Cream\/Taupe, and once you get the hang of the pattern, watch this traditional checkerboard appear before your eyes. Fun Fact: a smaller scale variation of this design is appropriately called &#8216;puppytooth&#8217;! The classic houndstooth pattern will have you feeling a bit British, maybe consider whipping it up while watching &#8216;The Crown&#8217; (and admiring all the Queen&#8217;s corgies!).<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Knits to Whip Up<\/h3>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-46576 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"113\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lionbrand.com/community/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Checkerboard-Afghan-Knit.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Checkerboard Afghan\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-46583\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-46583'>\n\t\t\t\tCheckerboard Afghan\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"113\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lionbrand.com/community/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Urban-Grid-Afghan-Knit.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Urban Grid Afghan\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-46584\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-46584'>\n\t\t\t\tUrban Grid Afghan\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lionbrand.com/community/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Simple-Striped-Afghan-Knit.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Simple Striped Afghan\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-46589\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-46589'>\n\t\t\t\tSimple Striped Afghan\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Two knits, with different squared styles.
