    2009: The Year of the Afghan - January

    by Lorena Haldeman

    Overall, this afghan was designed to be a learn-


    more-as-you-go project. While you could certainly
    make an afghan out of the easiest first couple of
    months, my hope is that as I up the challenge level
    that you will rise to the occasion and take on some
    new skills.

    There has been much discussion on how to


    assemble your afghan pieces when you are done.
    There are many schools of thoughts ranging from
    attaching them as you go, to seaming them
    together when you are finished. Personally I went
    with crocheting a single chain around each
    square (this also gave me the opportunity to
    crochet more chains around the smaller squares
    and thus making all my squares the same size),
    after which they were crocheted together in
    strips, and those strips crocheted together to make the entire afghan. I encourage you to experiment and
    find the best way that works for you!

    Materials
    75-100 yards of any worsted weight yarn

    US Size 7 needles (whatever gets you gauge, although gauge is reasonably flexible as long as all of your
    squares match each other; using larger needles and bigger yarn will get you a larger square, and using
    smaller needles and thinner yarn will get you a smaller one.)

    Finished Size
    11x11 inches, blocked.

    Gauge
    4-5 sts/inch on a US 7-8
