DESIGN DETAILS
- Portable because the afghan is knit in strips and woven together
- The color combinations are endless
- Alternating patterns of houndstooth pattern and box stitch of two other colors
- A pretty scalloped edge
- I will be happy to help you modify the size of the afghan you desire to knit. Simply email me with the width and length you would like, the size needle you used for your stitch and row gauges and if you know the name of the yarn please include it.

 

PATTERN DETAILS - the easy to follow pattern includes:
- Schematic
- Tracking sheet
- A link for substitute yarns
- Diagrams and full explanations for techniques, many with links to selected videos
- In the photo Color A is pink (5 balls) and Color B is black (4 balls).

TECHNIQUES USED IN THIS PATTERN
Links to videos for selected techniques are included. I look for videos as close to possible as the instructions I have written. Sometimes they may be slightly different but still very helpful.
- Cast-on
- Bind-off
- Slip stitches
- The hounds-tooth pattern is worked by slipping stitches and therefore much easier than intarsia.
