A modern take on a traditional afghan
I made this afghan for my husband's boss who is expecting. She didn't want to know the baby's gender so instead of making a yellow and green neutral afghan, I came up with this semi-monochromatic color scheme!
Abbreviations:
dc – double crochet
ch – chain
sk – skip
sc – single crochet
Gauge: 20 stitches =4 inches and 4 rows= 4 inches
Notes:
The finished dimensions of this afghan are approximately 31.5″ x 31.5″ but sizing will vary based on how tightly or loosely you crochet.
To make this blanket larger, chain a multiple of 18 x an odd number (for example, this blanket is a multiple of 18×7).
For this particular afghan, I used approximately 1.5 skeins of each color yarn.
