Gauge: 28 sc + 34 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient.

Gauge: 10 dc + 6 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to match the gauge, try using a smaller size hook; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook. Stitch Explanation: dc2tog (dc 2 sts together) (Yarn over, insert hook in next st and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops) twice, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook – 1 st decreased. NOTES: 1. Cardi is worked in one piece beg at lower edge. 2. When Cardi has reached armhole length, chs are worked for sleeves. You’ll need a separate strand of yarn to make the sleeve chs, so before beginning, cut a length about 3 yds. (3 m) long, and set it aside until you reach the yoke portion of the Cardi.

LION BRAND® crochet hook size J-10 (6 mm) LION BRAND® large-eyed blunt needle

Gauge: 12 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) in pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to match the gauge, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. NOTES: 1. Afghan is worked in 4 Strips. The Strips are made of wedge shaped sections. The wedges are shaped with scs, hdcs and dcs, and change color following the Color Sequence. The Strips are sewed together to make the Afghan. 2. The color is changed on every other row. To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete the st. Fasten off old color. 3. Cords and bobbles are worked separately, then attached to complete the Afghan.

Rnd 2: Ch 1, 3 sc in each sc around; join with sl st in first sc – 15 sc at the end of this rnd. Rnd 3: Ch 1, (sc3tog) 5 times; join with sl st in first sc – 5 sts. Fasten off. Attaching Bobbles Attach 16 Bobbles to each inner curve across long sides of Afghan – 3 groups of 16 Bobbles each along each side of Afghan. Across each short end of Afghan, attach 5 Bobbles at each end of each seam between Strips – 3 groups of 5 Bobbles each across each short end of Afghan. NOTES: 1. Each Bobble is attached to the Afghan with a cord. 2. Cords can be twisted cords, as explained in the instructions below, or a crocheted chain. 3. We used a yarn color that contrasted with the Bobble color to make each cord. To attach Bobbles with Twisted Cord Cut a 15 in. (38 cm) length of yarn in desired color. Gently separate the length of yarn into 4 strands. With one hand at each end of one strand, twist the strand until tightly twisted, then fold strand in half and let it twist back on itself. Knot ends about 3 in. (7.5 cm) from fold. From RS, insert hook through Afghan, then through fold of twisted cord. Draw fold of cord through edge of Afghan, forming a loop. Pull ends of cord through this loop, then pull to tighten. Sew Bobble to ends of cord. To attach Bobbles with Crocheted Chain If you’d prefer to make a simple crocheted chain to attach each Bobble, simply join yarn to Afghan with a sl st. Make a ch about 2 1/2 in. (6.5 cm) long, then fasten off. Sew Bobble to end of ch. Weave in ends. Abbreviations: beg = begin(ning)(s) ch = chain dc = double crochet hdc = half double crochet rep = repeat

rnd = round sc = single crochet sl st = slip st st(s) = stitch(es) tog = together
