    About this ebook

    An alternative to typical afghan patterns, this workbook of original designs presents transportable projects that can be made in a flash. The afghans are created by knitting sections at a time and then sewing or crocheting the final afghan together, providing more versatility and less bulk to carry around during the process. The designs can be easily customized and call for affordable yarns that are readily available and can be washed. With six patterns to make in various colorways, the book offers a new perspective on the classic afghan.

      Pattern Notes

      Afghan is worked in vertical panels with 2 strands of yarn held together throughout.

      If only 1 ball is used, pull yarn from inside and outside of ball. When using 2 balls, pull both ends from the inside.

      Slip all stitches knitwise.

      Grass pattern is worked by stranding method. Do not carry yarn across more than 2 stitches on the back without catching the carried color. When changing colors, bring previous color under and over new color on wrong side to twist yarn and prevent holes.

      Afghan panels can be sewn together if preferred.
