Lion Brand Construction Notes:

Afghan is made from 10 Large Squares and 40 Small Squares.

The Squares are worked separately then sewn together following the Assembly Diagram. An edging is then worked around the outside edge of the Afghan.

Each Square is worked back and forth in rows, with a decrease worked at the center of each row to form the miter.
