NOTES
1. Afghan is made from 4 triangles.
2. Each triangle is worked back and forth in rows of Garter st (k every st on
every row).
3. Triangle 1 is made separately. Triangles 2-4 are all worked from sts pick
up along the edge of the previous triangle.
4. Decreases are worked at the end of each RS row to make the triangle
shape.
5. The yarn colors alternate every 4 rows to make stripes. You don’t need to
cut the yarn between color changes. Just carry the color not in use along
the side edge of your work.
6. Refer to the diagram to clarify placement of triangles and direction of
knitting.
7. A circular needle is used to accommodate the number of sts. Work back
and forth in rows on the circular needle as if working on straight needles.
8. A fringe edging is worked along the outside edges of the Afghan.
