What Kind of Afghan Do You Want to Make?

Making an afghan is a long-term but satisfying project, but first off, you need to decide what kind of afghan you want to create.  There are basically 2 kinds:  1) an afghan that is made in one big piece, or 2) an afghan that is a number of pieces (often squares) either sewn or crocheted together.  In deciding which kind of afghan you want to work on, think about whether you prefer to make your afghan while you are at home (maybe in front of the TV where your growing afghan will keep you warm as you make it) or while you are commuting or away from home (where it might be easier to take along just enough yarn and supplies to make a few squares, then put them all together later).  Either way, an afghan is a great project to work on!

Afghan Squares

The traditional granny square is a great foundation for an afghan.  Choose 3 coordinating colors and either combine all 3 colors to make each square (alternating which colors you use in the center, middle, and last rows) or use each color to make solid squares.  Then lay out the squares into whatever color combination or pattern you desire!  Granny squares usually measure about 4 to 5 inches on each side, so you'll need to figure out how long and wide you want your afghan to be, then figure out how many squares you will need.
