TECHNIQUES USED IN THIS DESIGN
I look for videos as close as possible to the instructions I have written. There may be slight differences, but still very helpful.
-Chain stitch
-Slip stitch
-Single Crochet
-Double Crochet
-Hiding ends

FINISHED SIZE
-Approximately 52 inches-(132 cm) wide x 52 inches-(132 cm) long
-Or desired size

YARN USED FOR SAMPLE
-Knit One, Crochet Too
-4 balls each of 6 color ways = 24 balls of Paint Box
-100% wool
-1.75 ounces-(50 grams) each ball
-100 yards-(91.5 meters) each ball
Paint Box is a worsted weight yarn. Any weight yarn, using the appropriate size crochet hook, would work because you can stop crocheting when you obtain the finished size afghan you desire. To achieve the look for this afghan the yarn should have short runs of each color.

FOR A SUBSTITUTE YARN – a few suggestions
-Noro Yarn - Kureyon
-Noro Yarn - Silk Garden
-Sock yarns (make beautiful light weight baby blanket)
-Blue Heron - They have a large selection of variegated hand-dyed yarn
-Lion Brand yarns - Mandala
-Hobbii – Colorina
-Hobbii – Horizon
-Hobbii – Manarola
- More suggestions

It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase. Approximately 2400 yards-(2194.5 meters)- are needed for the sample afghan - 400 yards-(366 meters) of 6
different color ways. Allow for more yarn if a larger afghan is desired or using a thinner weight yarn.

SUGGESTED HOOK SIZE
-Size M-(9 mm) crochet hook or hook size appropriate for the yarn you are using

NOTIONS
-Gauge ruler
-Tapestry Needle

GAUGE
-three double crochet = 4 inches-(10 cm) with two strands of yarn held together on size M-(9 mm) crochet hook or needle to obtain the correct gauge
