Directions: Ch. 4—join with slip st. to form ring. Put 24 pull double croc. st. in ring. (Pull st. is like a double croc.) (Pull st. yarn over, put needle through ring, pick up yarn, pull through ring and pull to desired length 1½″ yarn over, pull through first two loops on needle, yarn over and pull through remaining two loops.) Join with slip st. to top of ch. 4.

Round 2: Ch. 1—1 sc. in 1st. st. 2 sc. in 2nd. st. Repeat around row—join with slip st. in top of ch. 1.

Taupe Spice Red Brown Dark Brown Lemon Yellow

_AFGHAN_ _MADE IN SQUARES AND CROCHETED TOGETHER LIKE AN OLD-FASHIONED QUILT (PATCHWORK)_

Material: 12 skeins White rug yarn; 9 skeins Blue rug yarn; size J crochet hook

1st Block: Using 1st. color—ch. 15 turn.

Work over your 2nd color (lay the strand of yarn along your work and sc. with the 1st. color as usual). This is done throughout—using alternating colors as the block indicates.

Row 1: 1st. color—1 sc. in 2nd ch. from hook and in each st. across ch. Ch. 1 turn. Pull the strand of yarn you’re working over to the back of your work after the Ch. 1 in each row. (To keep your work smooth on the edges.)

Rows 2 to 14: 1 sc. in each st. across row—ch. 1 to turn each row. Tie off yarn. Keep the yarn you are working over just tight enough not to pull your work. It is supposed to show through (note picture).

The next block is made the same way only alternating your colors.

Make 54 blocks in all. (27 blocks of color).

Work in loose strands around each block so they will sew together neatly.

_TO SEW TOGETHER_

Take two squares of different colors and slip st. together on corner using any color you like. We used a light color to show pattern of stitches in picture. With yarn on back side of your work pull the loop on your needle from the slip st. out long enough to reach 1st. st. in 1st. row of 2nd block (on the right). Put needle through st. Pick up yarn and pull through loop on needle (slip st). Pull loop on needle long enough to reach 1st. st. in 2nd row of 1st. block (left one). Put needle through st. Pick up yarn from the block and pull through st. and loop (slip st). Pull loop long enough to go to 1st. in 3rd. row of right block. Slip st. Repeat, skipping every other row. Alternate in each block. When you reach the top of the two blocks add two more and repeat till the length is reached (9 blocks high—6 blocks wide). Then working from the side repeat the same st. down each row until the whole Afghan is together (note picture).

Border: Put 3 rows of sc. evenly spaced all around—putting 3 sts. in each corner to turn—tie off yarn. _Photo on Page 23._
