<\/a> Hey all!<\/p>\n Here’s a quick-and-easy pattern for a knitted afghan in shades of grey!<\/p>\n Grey is the new brown, you know.<\/p>\n This pattern is a nice lap throw size; approximately 3 1\/2 x 4 1\/2 feet. I say “approximately” because this afghan is very “stretchy” because of the loose stitch and the way the stitches are put together.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This is a perfect pattern for a beginner who wants to work up something awesome using the two basic knitting stitches (knit and purl).<\/p>\n This is also the perfect pattern for someone who needs to work up something for a last-minute gift because said someone:<\/p>\n a. found out the party they needed the gift for is this<\/em> weekend when they thought is was next<\/em> weekend;<\/p>\n b. forgot they promised to make an afghan as the gift; or<\/p>\n c. all of the above.<\/p>\n And obviously said someone was:<\/p>\n d. me.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n What makes it so quick-and-easy, you ask?<\/p>\n Two things:<\/p>\n 1. Using lots of yarn at once; and<\/p>\n 2. Using really big honkers for needles:<\/p>\n <\/a> When you use a ton of yarn all together at once and needles the size of broomsticks, you get a cool-looking afghan that looks like you sweated over it for weeks when in reality it only took a few hours.<\/p>\n It’s win-win. <\/p>\n 4 skeins each of:<\/p>\n Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Silver Grey where to buy<\/a> 2 skeins of:<\/p>\n Read Heart Super Saver in Grey Heather where to buy<\/a><\/p>\nBulky Yarn Afghan Free Knitting Pattern<\/h3>\n
