A pattern from the book Join-as-you-Go Afghans designed by Maria Merlino.
Intermediate level

Finished Size: Approximately 31x40 inches

Materials: Red Heart Baby Pompadour super fine yarn (1.75oz/270yds/50g per skein): 11 skeins #1 white

Important! The materials description in the book says to use a fingering weight yarn, but the yarn symbol in the book shows to use a fine (sport) weight yarn, and the 5mm hook seems better suited for a fine instead of a super fine yarn. I’m not sure which is the correct yarn to use, but if you use the suggested yarn ,you should be good to go.
