CIRCLE WITHIN A SQUARE AFGHAN

Knit Simple Spring/Summer 2014 #30

Design by Margret Willson

Whether you opt for cool sea tones or a brighter colorway, you’ll love the vintage modern feel of this blanket. Each block of this crocheted afghan starts as a circle and ends as a square; sew the blocks together to create elegant geometric patterning. The outermost rounds of all squares are worked in the same color to give a unified look reminiscent of a patchwork quilt.
