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.
NOTES: Afghan is knit with 2 strands of yarn held together.

| Glowing Colors Afghan Reviewed by Chris Chidsey on 2009-05-04 |

| If you are looking for an afghan that all children will love, this is the one. I have made this twice in one month and loved both of them. It takes very little time to complete. One was for my neice who is 11 and the other I donated to Project Linus. Although I am a very experienced knitter, I found this a very stress free project and excellent for a beginner. Everyone loves it and it's fun to see the different colors work up.
