Grandma's Throw
My Mission:
Grandma asked for an afghan to wrap around her shoulders for watching movies and snacking in the winter. My instructions were (1) don't make it too big or bulky, and (2) only use yarn I found in the house. Oy! In the end she seemed pretty happy with this little afghan made of worsted weight yarn and with lots and lots of love Materials: Hook H and worsted weight yarn in Colors A, B, C. Dimensions: 34" x 58" (with 18 color panels at about 3 %" each) Instructions: \*\*\* Be sure to weave in and crochet over ends as you change colors. Chain: With Color A, Ch 127. Row 1: DC in third Ch from hook and DC in each remaining Ch for 124 DC. Row 2: Ch 2 and turn. DC in same DC as Ch 2, \* Ch 1, skip DC, DC in next DC \*, repeat from \* to \* until second to last DC, DC in last DC. Row 3: Ch 2 and turn. DC in same DC as Ch 2, \* Ch 1, skip DC, DC in Ch 1 space of prior row \*, repeat from \* to \* until second to last DC, DC in last DC. Rows 4-5: Repeat Row 3. Row 6: Ch 2 and turn. DC in same DC as Ch 2, DC in each remaining DC and Ch 1 space of prior row. Switch to Color B in last DC of this row. Rows 7-12: Repeat Rows 1-6 in Color B. Switch to Color C in last stitch of Row 12. Rows 13-18: Repeat Rows 1-6 in Color C. Switch to Color A in last stitch of Row 18. Repeat for desired length. I made 18 color panels for a 58" afghan that was the perfect size for Grandma to wrap around her for a movie marathon. I'm going to trim or add some fringe on the next one I made, but she wanted this one plain.
