The reversible design was achieved by alternating rows of bright pink with pink and light pink, using a combination of sc and long hdc which are worked into the previous row. The long hdc are worked with bright pink on odd rows and pink and light pink on even rows creating the reversible effect. A reversible-style border is added around the outside edge. Skill Level: Easy.

Approximately 950 yards of bright pink, 450 yards of pink and 300 yards of light pink are needed to complete this afghan.

The original afghan (pictured) was made using Caron Simply Soft, worsted weight yarn, in 7 oz. skeins: 3 skeins of Country Blue, 2 skeins of Lt. Country Blue, and 1 skein of Soft Blue were used to complete the afghan. The afghan was remade in shades of pink for the publication.
