Log Cabin Afghan finally available!

[lisamartinez]

Ok, I finally figured it out. Let me know if you're going to make this with me. http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo285/lisamartinez116/1013081427.jpg

 

Here's the pattern....

Worsted weight yarn (off-white, white, and assorted light colors)

I hook

Yarn needle

Square: (80 = 8 x 10 rows)

MATERIALS: Four ply worsted weight yarn....any combination of five dark colors and four light colors (You can use fewer colors if you want and just repeat colors within in the block); size I crochet hook.

SIZE: 8" square

Note: The side of the work facing you as you work Row 1 and Row 3 of each band will be the right side of the piece; To eliminate having to weave in yarn ends after each square is finished, work them in as you crochet.

PATTERN FOR BLOCK:

With first dark color, chain 4.

Row 1 Sc in second chain from hook, chain 1, sc in last ch, chain 1, turn.

Row 2-3: Sc in 1st sc, chain 1, sc in next sc, chain 1, turn. Before working final yarn-over of last sc in Row 3, cut A and attach B to complete stitch and turning chain.

BAND NO 1:

Rows 1-2: With Color B, work sc: chain 1 across. Turn.

Row 3: Work even in sc: chain 1, turn sideways.

BAND NO 2:

Row 1 Pick up and work sc; chain 1 across side of Color B and Color A center square; chain 1, turn.

Row 2: Work even in sc; chain 1, turn.

Row 3: (Sc; chain 1) in each of the first 5 sc; sc in last sc, cutting Color B before working final yarn-over and attaching Color C to complete stitch; chain 1, turn sideways.

BANDS NO 3-16: Continue in the same manner with the number of sc increasing in each Band. Each color is used for 2 bands and you must alternate between very light and light colors in order to get the log cabin effect. Bands 1,2,5,6,9,10,13,14 are very light colors. Bands 3,4,7,8,11,12,15,16 are light colors. Center square should be light color also. You can use all kinds of different colors to use of leftover yarn or use dark and light shades of the same color and use the same colors a couple times within one block.
