NOTES:

  1. Front and Back of Afghan are worked separately, then sewn together.
  2. Both Front and Back use the same number of sts – but due to the colorwork, the finished Back will be slightly larger than the Front. When pieces are sewn together, the Back will roll slightly towards the Front, creating the look of a frame around the edges.
  3. A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of sts. Work back and forth in rows on the circular needle as if working on straight needles.
  4. The Afghan is worked in intarsia colorwork, following Charts. Do not carry unused color(s) across WS of work. Use a separate ball of yarn for each color section. Twist yarns on WS to prevent gaps between color sections.
  5. For ease in working, print out all charts, then tape charts together following chart assembly diagram to make a single large chart.
  6. When working from Charts, work in St st, reading RS rows from right to left and WS rows from left to right.
