So are you ready to get started??

Here is the material list and some fun hints about our Crochet with Me… Winter CAL project…

This years Winter 2015 CAL Afghan will have a retro theme…  I am shooting for a 48″ x 60″ afghan, but it can be made longer and wider!  This afghan will be made using fun crochet panels in multiple colors!  This will be an easy rated pattern and most crocheters will be able to accomplish this pattern…

Materials~

I will be making 2 afghans with 2 styles of yarn… One afghan in self striping yarn and the second afghan in traditional yarns, changing the colors as needed!!  You can choose either of these styles to make this one of a kind retro afghan!!

For afghans using the “Self Striping Yarn” ~ 2500-2800 yards Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable Yarn (or any self striping yarn of your choice) *Not variegated yarn. AND 600-800 Yards of a complimentary color for joining and the border.  This yarn will work up slightly smaller than traditional worsted weight and your end project will be slightly smaller overall.

For afghans using “Traditional Yarns”  ~ A Minimum of 3 base colors or up to 8 base colors and 1 color for joining and edging.  Approx. 3000 total yards… Using 600-800 yards of each color.

*This yardage is only an estimate of yarn that will be used. This afghan is being designed as we go.*

Hook~I or if using Red Heart Unforgettable Yarn you can size up to a J hook due to the smaller gauge of this yarn.

 

Unforgettable yarn winter CAL

 For one afghan….
