Notes

Using 2 strands of yarn together and mixing the colors is a great way to get the gradient look of this afghan. I am enjoying the simple, easily learned pattern. It is vibrant and fun to do. Not looking forward to weaving in all the tails but a necessary evil to get this gorgeous look.

Instead of repeating the pattern colors, I did a mirror image. I’m extremely happy with this project!
