Old Afghan Help

[Larnbrown]

I had this old offhand from my late aunt and wanted to recreate it. But I don't know what the main stitch is or the stitch that combines the rows of different color. Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

welcome to the ville

 

the main stitch is the brick stitch, also called block st or crazy st.  http://crochet.about.com/library/blcrazyst.htm  shows how to make it, except yours has only 2 dc over the ch3, where that pattern has 3 dc over the ch3.

 

I think the joining is made by doing 2 sc in the first panel,, ch 1, 2 sc in the other panel.

Larnbrown: Love the afghan. Magiccrochetfan: Thanks for the pattern. I think I have an old scarf in that pattern. It was in some stuff I got after my grandmother passed. She knit/crocheted so I think she made it. I'll have to check.

I agree, it is the brick stitch but with one less dc. It is also called the box stitch, I just finished a prayer shawl using that stitch. Very easy to do and goes quickly.
