Lawrence's Afghan


Lawrence’s Afghan






Materials
  • H/5.0 mm hook
  • 1 7-ounce skein Red Heart Super Saver Light Blue (Color A)
  • 2 7-ounce skeins Red Heart Super Saver Blue (Color B)
  • 3 7-ounce skeins Red Heart Super Saver Royal Blue (Color C)
  • 4 7-ounce skeins Red Heart Super Saver Soft Navy Blue (Color D)
  • Yarn Needle
  • Scissors/snips


Notes
  • Ch 4 counts as a dc plus a ch
  • Ch 3 counts as a dc
  • When working dc’s across, 2 dcs are worked in the ch-2 spaces of the previous round
  • Finished size is approximately 69-inches by 69-inches
  • US terms are used
  • Sample is made using four colors – it is the crocheter’s choice to use multiple colors, a single color, etc.
  • A larger hook can be used, but the amounts of yarn will need to be adjusted/increased to accommodate the larger hook.
