On the Bias Rectangular Afghan
"VIDEO TUTORIAL AVAILABLE Beginners and seasoned crocheters alike will love that the On the Bias Rectangular Afghan pattern uses simple crochet stitch pattern repeats to create the textured design, making it perfect for those days when you need to sit, crochet and decompress. If working on the bias (or corner-to-corner as it’s more widely known) is intimidating, no worries! I’ve created a video tutorial to help. Pair this crochet blanket pattern with Lion Brand Yarns Mandala or Wool Ease Cakes, self-striping yarns, and all of the colorwork is done for you making this a perfect crochet project for binge watching your favorite TV show. And I don’t know about you, but my favorite part of self-striping yarns is that I’m not left with a bunch of ends to weave in! Yarn Lion Brand Yarns Wool Ease Cakes in Poseidon was used for the sample in the photos. Use ANY weight yarn you’d like. I suggest using a hook size at least 1mm larger than what’s listed on the ball band of the yarn you’d like to use. Adjust hook size until you get the drape you’d like for your afghan. If you use a different yarn and hook size, your gauge may not match what’s written. Sizes Instructions are included to make any size afghan you’d like!"
