Still with the same color, repeat the previous directions from * to **. Continue with crocheting off 2 loops each time until you have finished the row. *Go into each vertical loop that is the opposite color of the color you are using, and pull through a new loop.**įor the next row, using the other hook on the other end, crochet off that first loop that is on the crochet hook Then crochet off that loop and the next one. Still with the same color, repeat these directions for the next row: Then crochet off that loop and the next one. Make a loop, and crochet off that first loop that is on the crochet hook. Now, go to the side where the other hook is, and tie on the second color. Go into each chain with a single crochet stitch, and pull through a loop, keeping the loops on the crochet hook (as with doing the afghan stitch). Make a chain 120 stitches long (for a 60" wide afghan). Figure about one and one-quarter ounces of each color for each square foot of afghan. I like longer ones, and use 5 eight-ounce skeins of each color to make a 60" x 72" afghan. Depending on your style of crocheting, you will probably need 4 eight-ounce skeins of each of the two colors to make a 60" x 60" afghan. I used 4-ply yarn from K-Mart, and a size N double-ended crochet hook. White and a pastel color works out very nicely. It is made with 2 colors, and is predominately one of the colors on each side. You can use a size J hook, but it makes an afghan that is quite heavy, and is a little tiring to make because of the weight. This pattern can only be copied or printed for personal use.
