Enjoy a staycation this summer and join Cascade Yarns and myself for a CAL using Cascade Yarns Anthem. The Art Deco Afghan is an 8 part CAL running from July 7th – August 25th. Every Wednesday for eight weeks, a new part will be published. You will make the specified sections each week until you have created your own beautiful piece of art. Finished measurements after blocking will be 42” x 58”. The lovely Tania Leis - Hooked by TJ - will be providing her wonderful video tutorials for this CAL.

Art Deco is a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in France just before World War I. Art Deco influenced the design of buildings, furniture, jewelry, fashion, cars, movie theatres, trains, ocean liners, and everyday objects such as radios and vacuum cleaners. It combined modern styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. Art Deco works are symmetrical, geometric, streamlined, often simple, and pleasing to the eye. With this in mind, I was inspired by many of the art pieces selected for the yarn kits. The result is a striking afghan ready for display in your own home, or to be proudly gifted to another.

The Art Deco Afghan will require:
I (5.5 mm) crochet hook
Tapestry needle
Stitch Markers
Scissors
