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.

Great pattern. Easy to make. It took me about 3 weeks to knit it up which is fast for me, considering the time I have. I got a lot of compliments on it even before I finished it. Some pointers:
*I added a 4th panel since I had plenty of yarn left over. That made it a nice size for my 4 year old daughter to cuddle up with.
*I highly recommend to anyone doing this pattern to learn how to do a Russian join due to all the color changes. Lion Brand has a great and easy to understand tutorial on their web site to show you how to do this. It will save you a tremendous amount of time to not have to sew in your ends. Plus it will look better
*Leave long tails after your cast on or bind off so you can use them to sew the seams. I think you'll need a long tail bind off on the first and third panels and a long tail after casting on for the second and forth panels.
