Irish Chain Afghan

**About the Design: ** This afghan is styled after the traditional Irish Chain quilt pattern, but with traveling stitches cross-hatching the garter stitch background. This adds visual interest and makes it more interesting to knit.

I used **Cascade Yarns 128 Chunky Tweed. **The tweed flecks adds interest and the chunky yarn weight makes the perfect Fall and Winter weight afghan to curl up under.

Gauge: 14 sts and 28 rows = 4” (10 cm) in Garter Stitch with size 10 ndls or size to give gauge. To save time, take time to check gauge.

**Substitute Yarn Weight: **Chunky. (For closest color match, I have suggested Cascade 128 Superwash.)

Happy Knitting! Dawn
