NOTE: Joining squares adds another 1/2" per square. SQUARE 1 (Make 32): With CA, ch 3; join with a sl st to join to form a ring. Rnd 1: Ch 3, 2 dc in ring, ch 3, [3 dc in ring, ch 3] 3 times; join with a sl st in top of ch-3. Rnd 2: Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, * (2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc) all in ch-3 sp for corner **, dc in next 3 dc; rep from * around, end at **; join. Fasten off CA. Rnd 3: Attach CB in ch-3 corner sp; ch 1, * (sc, ch 3, sc) all in corner sp, [ch 1, skip next dc, sc in next dc] 3 times, ch 1; rep from * around; join with a sl st in first sc. Fasten off CB. Rnd 4: Attach CC in ch-3 corner sp; ch 3, (2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) all in same sp, * ch 1, skip next sc and next sp, 3 dc in next sc, ch 1, skip next sp and next sc and next sp, 3 dc in next sc, ch 1, skip next sp and next sc **, (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) all in corner ch-3 sp; rep from * around, end at **; join. Rnd 5: Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, * (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) all in corner sp, [dc in next 3 dc, dc in next ch-1 sp] 3 times **, dc in next 3 dc; rep from * around, end at **; join. Fasten off CC.
SQUARE 2 (Make 31): Make same as for Square 1 EXCEPT use CC instead of CA to beg and work through Rnds 2 and use CA in stead of CC to work Rnds 4 and 5.
ASSEMBLY-Note: Afghan is made in seven vertical strips of 9 alternating squares. Squares are crocheted together in the following order: Vertical Strips 1, 3, 5, and 7: 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1. Vertical Strips 2, 4, and 6: 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2.
JOIN SQUARES: Work from bottom to top alternating squares as in assemble note. Work joins in same direction. Holding squares with wrong sides together, attach CB through both corner ch-1 sps; ch 1, sc in both corner sps, * ch 1, skip 1 dc on each square, sc into next dc on both squares; rep from * until 1 dc before corner; ch 1, skip next dc, sc in corner ch-1 sp. Fasten off. JOIN STRIPS: Work from left to right. Work joins in same direction. Holding strips with wrong sides together, attach CB in both corner ch-1 sps at bottom edge; join as for squares across strips AND make a ch-1 over the joining of the squares. EDGING: With right side facing, attach CB in any corner; ch 1, * (sc, ch 3, sc) all in corner sp, work (sc, ch 1) evenly across to next corner sp, rep from * around; join to first sc. Weave in ends. |
