SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate (Level 3)

Homespun® (Article #790)

Aquarium & Inca

Crochet Hook - Size H-8 (5 mm)

Gauge:
3 single crochet (U.S.) + 2 ch2-spaces across = 2” (5 cm)

Afghan is crocheted sideways.

Row 1 establishes RS. Work from center out to sides lengthwise.

Side 2 repeats on opposite side of foundation chain.

Leave 6” tails when beginning and fastening off to tie into final fringe.

Because of the texture of Homespun, the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends, knit or crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or Fray CheckTM by Dritz®.
