Hoban (aka Wash) is part of the Shiny afghan block collection. Get ready for some fun! This pattern is mostly straightforward but has a few rounds that make it an advanced pattern - specifically one round where you’ll be using two yarns at once. Also keep an eye on the special stitches - you’ll be making two different types of picots. It sounds complicated, but lots of photos are included to help you through, and I’m sure by the end, you’ll be having more fun with it than anything.

Hoban is available as a stand alone pattern and within the Shiny 2 ebook. The Shiny collection is comprised of two ebooks and one bonus pattern, and includes ten 12 inch afghan squares with matching stitch counts for easy joining and swapping and one stitch pattern for bordering or making filler squares.
