Crochet

Square Spiral

This afghan was made with Paton's Decor yarn, 12 skeins of Antique Gold (A) and 12 of Green Earth (B), using a G crochet hook and a yarn needle.

Square:

Ch 6.  Slip stitch in initial chain to form ring.

Rnd 1: Ch 3.  Work 15 dc in ring.  Join with slip stitch to initial chain-3.

Rnd 2: Ch 1.  Sc in same stitch, and each of next 3 dc, ch 3.  *Sc  in next 4 dc, ch 3.  Repeat from * around and join with slip stitch to initial chain.

Rnd 3: Ch 1, sc in same stitch and each of next 3 sc, *(2 sc, ch 3, 2 sc) in ch-3 space, sc in next 4 sc.  Repeat from * around.  Join with slip stitch to initial chain.  Fasten off.

You will need 324 total squares.  For a 2-colour afghan, as I have done, you'll need 162 of each colour.  (For a 4-colour afghan, you'll need 81 of each colour.)

Join together with whip stitch from the back side using only back loops according to the diagram below.

Border:

Rnd 1: Join with slip stitch with Color A to any sc.  Ch 1, *sc in same space and in each sc across to corner using back loops only. 3 sc in each corner.  Repeat from * around.  Join with slip stitch to initial chain.  Fasten off.  Switch to Color B.

Rnd 2: Join with slip stitch.  *Ch 5.  Sc in 4th stitch from previous.  Repeat to corner, (ch 5, sc) in corner.  Repeat from * around. Slip stitch to initial chain.

Rnd 3: Slip stitch to center of ch-5 space.  *Ch 7, sc in top of next ch space to corner.  In corner, (ch 7, sc).  Repeat from * around.  Slip stitch to base of initial ch-7.  Fasten off and tuck in all ends.
