What a sweet summer afghan pattern in the Coats and Clark’s Book No. 268, titled Afghans For All Occasions. Great for lounging in a beach chair near the lake or pool.

This striped afghan measures 42 x 60 inches. The colors are gorgeous, Turquoise, Mint Julep and Eggshell, perfect for summer.

The Red Heart Worsted Hand Knitting Yarn is a 4 ply Acrylic that is machine washable and dryable. These vintage skeins weighed 3.5 ounces each.

The Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo skeins weigh a lot more than 3.5 ounces, in fact they weigh 14 ounces. You’d need two for a total of 28 ounces of the dark turquoise color. The Mint Julep only requires 7 and Eggshell 3 ounces.

Circular Needles

It’s made with 36″ long, Size No. 10 Circular Needles. You’ll need a Size I crochet hook for the edging. A circular needle is recommended to accommodate the large number of sts. Don’t join. Work in rows.

These Knitter’s Pride 10/6mm Dreamz Fixed Circular Needles are 40″ long and have a 5 star rating on Amazon. The Dreamz line is made from densified laminated birch wood, more costly and much harder than ebony or rosewood.

Let’s Look at the Gauge

Using a Garter Stitch — 11 sts = 3 inches; 8 rows = 1 inch. Always be sure to check your gauge before starting the afghan. Then use any size needle that will obtain the gauge above.
