Our take

Choose this Easy afghan if you want portable squares instead of one huge piece on the needles.

Lion Brand rates it Easy. Each square is simple; the project becomes a blanket when you join them.

Compare that workflow with one-piece throws if seaming is not what you want to practice. The pattern stays on Lion Brand.

What this project asks of you

This is orientation, not a substitute for the pattern. Use it to decide whether the project fits what you want to practise next.

  1. 01

    Units

    Garter squares

    The knit fabric is approachable. Joining is part of the published project.

  2. 02

    Publisher level

    Easy

    Seaming a pile of squares is the extra work beyond a beginner rectangle.

Before you start

Three checks worth making now

  1. 01

    Count the squares and yarn amounts on the Lion Brand page before you start a color plan.

  2. 02

    Keep a consistent gauge so the pieces sew together without puckering.

  3. 03

    Budget finishing time. An afghan is not done when the last square comes off the needles.
