“The fascinating effect of this knitted afghan is achieved through the use of variegated yarn. Combine the variegated yarn with a solid color and you get the look of fancy stitchery without the extra work.

“The hexagon pattern is simply a combination of easy knit and purl stitches. The same hexagon design is repeated throughout the entire project.”
