Lion Brand Notes:
-
Afghan is worked in intarsia. Use a separate ball of yarn for each color section. Twist yarns on WS to prevent gaps between color sections.
-
For ease in working, print out all charts, then tape charts together following chart assembly diagram to make a single large chart.
-
Charts are worked in St st (k on RS, p on WS). Follow Charts from right to left on RS rows, from left to right on WS rows.
-
Stitch markers are placed between the Garter st borders and between the individual Charts. Slip the markers as you come to them.
-
Circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of sts. Work back and forth on circular needle as if working on straight needles.
