Afghans

Afghan size approx 48" x
72" before joining and border.
These are some squares made using the pattern square
#96 in ASN's 101 Crochet Squares by Jean Leinhauser. Great book! Many
useful square patterns. These squares, which I call snowflake squares, are
about 8" using an H hook. Pictures were taken before squares were joined
together into afghan.
Note: With 1 skein, you can make either 17
centers or 17 outer borders. I figure one center to be about 27 yards if you
want to see if you have enough of a color to do it. I am not responsible if
it doesn't work!

Sarahghan to
Project Rest Assured for Sarah (teen girl)
in memory of Janet
This ghan is made in shell strips.
pattern basics:
Ch 16, 2 dc in 4th ch from hk, (sk 2, shell) across,
H hook,
101 rows
7 strips trimmed in black
border is a round of sc followed
by (sc, ch 3, sk 1)
about 4 1/2 ounces per strip |

42" x 53"
The ghan used 7 strips of various widths, worked in seed stitch as per the Scrap Strip Afghan but with 201
rows. It was joined and bordered in soft burgundy, taking
less than 8 ozs. There is no rhyme or reason to the colors used. I just
worked with a ball of leftover yarn until it was done or I was tired of that
color. This ghan went to
Project Rest Assured for a teen girl.
I used a four round border. First round was sc,
second 2dc shells, then two rounds of (sc, ch 4)
around.

This afghan was made using the same basic shell pattern
as my Christmas Strip Afghan with some variation in size

48" x 64"
This double strand afghan is also the Peekaboo pattern. It is made with
one strand each of Caron Sayelle taupe and dk federal blue. The individual
colors stand out better in this one than in Sonya's Peekaboo. I used the pink hook that came with my breast cancer kit. I think
it's a P. The afghan is quite heavy and very warm even with the holes made
by the pattern.

Cause |
