I had a couple skeins of this color and wanted to practice a design I was thinking of to use for an afghan for my sofa. My daughter liked the yarn, so making her afghan with it. I found the yarn a little difficult to work with. It cut into my finger a little as I was crocheting, but it does make a soft fluffy lighter weight afghan.
5 skeins 10.5 oz. or 15 skeins 3.5 oz. Waiting on my yarn order to complete project.
PATTERN:(chevron design)
chain 98
Row 1: dc 3 tog (starting in 3rd ch from hook), dc in next 5 chains, 5 dc in next ch, dc in next 5 chains, dc 5 tog (4 times), dc in next 5 chains, 5 dc in next ch, dc in next 5 chains, dc 3 tog, ch 2 turn
Row 2: (ch 2 does not count as stitch), dc 3 tog (starting in same stitch as ch 2), dc back loop only in next 5 dc, 5 dc in next dc, dc back loop only in next 5 dc, dc 5 tog (4 times), dc back loop only in next 5 dc, 5 dc in next dc, dc back loop only in next 5 dc, dc 3 tog
Row 3: (ch 2 does not count as stitch), dc 3 tog (starting in same stitch as ch 2), dc front only in next 5 dc, 5 dc in next dc, dc front loop only in next 5 dc, dc 5 tog (4 times), dc front loop only in next 5 dc, 5 dc in next dc, dc front loop only in next 5 dc, dc 3 tog
Repeat rows 2, 3 to desired length.
Added a border on both ends to straighten out edges. Don’t remember exactly what I did, but used quadruples, triples, doubles, half-doubles and singles to make a straighter edge on the bottom and top.
Couldn’t really get a decent photo of the blanket. Cloudy dark day and the colors are hard to photograph.
I may change up the design a bit for my sofa afghan.
