GAUGE:

10 stitches + 16 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter stitch (knit every row). 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
make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a
larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:
1. Panels are worked in Garter stitch (knit every row), changing color to create stripes. To change
color, cut the old color leaving an end about 8 in. (20 cm) long, then begin working with new color,
leaving a long tail on the new color as well. If you like, you may knot the old and new yarn tails
together. When you have finished knitting the Panel, unknot the ends and weave them into the Panel.
2. 7 Panels are knit, then sewed together to make the Afghan.
3. Since this design does not include a border, you may wish to slip the first stitch of every row to keep
the sides of the Panels neat.
