Circles To Squares Afghan

Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice

GAUGE:

Square 1 = 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 in. (14 x 14 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 less 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:

To change color, work last stitch of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete stitch.

Circles To Squares Afghan Reviewed by phyllis on 2008-07-08 *****
I enjoyed making up this pattern as much as every one around enjoyed watching it come together. A very fun pattern. The first one was for my 14 year old grand daughter who picked out a fun furry yarn in black, hot pink and lime green. The next one will be baby yarn. This is really a great pattern.
