\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This afghan looks so elegant but is so easy to make. After the first row, the same row is just repeated over and over, so a really easy pattern to learn. Make it in a solid color or with as many color changes as you like.<\/p>\n

The example is made in light worsted weight cotton.<\/p>\n

Materials:<\/strong>
\nWorsted weight yarn – see chart above for amounts
\nSize H (5mm) crochet hook<\/p>\n

Abbreviations:<\/strong>
\nch = chain
\ndc = double crochet
\nyo = yarn over<\/p>\n

Special stitch:<\/strong>
\nDec – Decrease\u00a03 stitches – yo, insert hook in next stitch, yo and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook, yo, skip next stitch, insert hook in next stitch, yo and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook, yo and draw through all 3 loops on hook.<\/p>\n

The beginning chain should be a multiple of 20 plus 4.<\/p>\n

Here<\/a> is a chart of the first five rows.<\/p>\n

For these widths, start with this number of chains:
\n34.25″ = 164
\n38.25″ = 184
\n42.5″ = 204
\n46.75″ = 224
\n50.75″ = 244<\/p>\n

Row 1: Skip first 4 ch (counts as first dc), **(dc, ch1, dc)\u00a0in next ch,\u00a0dc in next 2 ch, ch1,\u00a0skip 1 ch, dc in next\u00a02 ch, dec (uses next\u00a03 ch), dc in next ch, dec (uses next\u00a03 ch), dc in next\u00a02 ch, ch1, skip 1 ch, dc in next 2 ch, (dc, ch1, dc) in next ch, dc in next ch. Repeat from ** across to end. Turn.<\/p>\n

Row 2: Ch3 (counts as a dc), skip first dc **(dc, ch1, dc) in next dc, dc in next ch, dc in next dc, ch1, skip 1 dc, dc in next dc, dc in next ch, dec (uses next 3 dc), dc in next dc, dec (uses next 3 dc), dc in next ch, dc in next dc, ch1, skip 1 dc, dc in next dc, dc in next ch, (dc, ch1, dc) in next dc, dc in next dc. Repeat from ** across to end. The last dc will be in the top of the turning chain. Turn.<\/p>\n

Repeat row 2 until afghan is desired length.<\/p>\n

The blanket can be made in a solid color or can be made with any number of color changes. The best way to make a color change is to finish all but the very last pull through of the two loops of the last\u00a0double crochet of a row. Cut yarn with a few inches of tail and join with new color next to stitch. Pull new color through last two loops. Weave in ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
