This Afghan project is hand knitted as individual motifs which are worked corner to corner (C2C) and then joined together. If you know how to do knit stitch, you will learn to increase (yo) and decrease (k2tog) to make a diamond and half diamond from corner to corner- increasing to halfway, then decreasing to the other corner. Also, you will learn to make triangles to frame this colourful knit. The design is worked in stranded knitting, where you carry the colours across to form floats on the wrong side. The Afghan size can be altered by using different weight yarn and different size needles, also knitting more/less motifs. Crochet is a great way to join together all motifs, giving to your blanket more structure. However, if you want your seams to be less visible use mattress st, or any other you prefer.
