Craftsman Afghan Kit

Multiple jewel toned ‘panes’ of soft and fluffy Suri Dream are featured beautifully in our architecturally-inspired Craftsman Afghan. The geometric pattern, designed to resemble a stained glass window, is balanced nicely by the ultra lightweight and drapey alpaca yarn, making an afghan that is both classy looking and cozy feeling. The focal chevron arrows are knit with increase and decrease stitches, the border is knitted on by picking up stitches, and the checkerboard corners are mitered squares, which makes the construction seamless and the finishing minimal.

12

Craftsman Afghan Kit Kit includes one 50 gram ball each of Suri Dream in Sandstorm, Fedora, Natural, Woodlands Heather, Hollyberry and Mulled Wine along with pattern instructions for afghan. You will need US 11 (8 mm) straights or circulars (circulars recommended for the larger portions) and US 15 (10mm) straights for binding off. 40135
