Notes

Honorable Mention in single color hand knit afghans at the 2018 NC State Fair

1st place in hand knit afghans at the Guilford Fair

After the center star, increases only occur after the horizontal chevron sections. Increase rows are effectively separate from the patterned rows. This makes the pattern less complicated than you might assume from looking at it.

07-26-2018

Finished first skein at the end of the first chevron section.

07-28-2018

Finished second skein on 3rd row of second chevron section.

07-30-2018

Finished 3rd skein on row 87 in second chevron section.

08-04-2018

Finished 4th skein on row 103 in third welting section.

08-05-2018

Finished 5th skein on row 113 in third welting section.

I am trusting the instructions at their word and am not increasing before the last welting section. It weirds me out to go down a needle size without increasing, but the math isn’t crazy when you take into account that the join between the center and the edging after the last welting row acts as the increase row.

09-14-2018

Started 12th skein just before finishing the main circle portion. Started the edging!

09-15-2018

If you don’t like true lace (no resting rows) you’ll probably hate the edging. It looks beautiful though.

09-30-2018

DONE. Finished the edging, grafted to the edging’s start, and blocked.
