This luxurious afghan design is reminiscent of the undulating waters of the ocean. It is created on multiples of 21 +3 stitches. The instructions contain helpful hints that identify areas where errors may occur. The afghan, as created, measures 44 x 80 but could be made smaller by adjusting the number of stitch multiples and adjusting the color pattern repeats as indicated in the pattern.

The gauge for this item isn’t critical so a test swatch may not be needed.

Supplies Needed:
Circular Needles: U.S. size 5, at least 32 inches long
Cable needle (I prefer the “J” type hook for this project—looks like a rounded fish hook on the end)
Darning/tapestry needle (for weaving in the ends)

Yarn Used:
Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Sport
Ash — 22 balls
Rouge — 20 balls
Blossom Heather — 4 balls
Oyster Heather — 3 balls
