GAUGE:

Rnds 1-3 of Afghan = 5 in. [12.5 cm]. 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:

COLOR SEQUENCE

Work 1 round A, 1 round B, 1 round C. Rep through Rnd 27. Work Rnds 28-30 with C only.

Note: When changing colors, join new color in a different corner to keep afghan square.

Chocolate-covered Cherries Afghan Reviewed by Carly on 2009-05-15
I LOVE this pattern! I made one for my mom and one for my sister for Christmas 2008. They loved them and they looked so nice. The name makes it even better! This is a great pattern, easy to follow and quick (each blanket took less than a week). The only change I made was to make them both a little bigger.
