By working this afghan in join-as-you-go strips rather than
all in one piece, you take advantage of the striping in the
Pinwheel yarn, making the color changes work in your favor.
Don’t worry about making the color stripes match
perfectly. The shifting of the color stripes in each strip
brings an added depth to the texture of the whole, making
this simple afghan a showstopper! This afghan is a free pattern!
