Glowing Colors Afghan

Lion Brand® Jiffy®

GAUGE:

8 stitches and 10 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch (knit on right side, purl on wrong side) with 2 strands of yarn held together. 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.

This was my first knitted blanket, and it turned out beautifully! Very easy pattern, and works up quickly with the large needles! Great gift for a young child!
