This brightly-colored reversible afghan will make your décor pop! The Rainbow Squares Afghan is created by alternating two different connect-as-you-go motifs and surrounded by a picot border. This reversible technique alternates rows of black with twelve additional colors, from red to lavender, to create this colorful design. It is one of two afghans included in the Rainbow Afghan Duo pattern set.

A blank chart is also included to Make-Your-Own Squares afghan design, along with a calculation to determine yardage, for a great scrap yarn project.
