Construction Note for your own easy crochet Afghan project

1. The pattern is worked in 2 different sections, the first is the Filet and the second is chains, which are then threaded through the mesh (Filet) made.
2. Section 2: Weaving in your chains after Row 2 of section one, you can skip to section 2 and Weave your chains through first
   rows of filet made and continue this way.
   You can also decide to make a few rows of filets and weave in the chains instead of weaving after every row.
   Or You can decide to complete the first section and then weave your chains through. This last option might become very tasking and stressful.

Section 2: of this easy crochet Afghan pattern

Interlocking Chains/Weaving

• Leave a tail of 5”, Ch 153 (163, 229, 307, 367)
(Note that this would be used for the first row, you would need to chain Ch 153 (163, 229, 307, 367) for each row.

• To make counting easier, you can place a stitch marker after the first 153 (163, 229, 307, 367) chains and check the length against subsequent chains instead of counting every row.

• Thread the beginning 5” through a darning needle, pass the darning needle *below 1 dc and over the next Dc, repeat from * to the end of the row, and continue to weave in this sequence till the end of Row 82 (106, 167, 184, 184).

To secure the chains, sew the 5” left to the end of the panel.
Secure the other end of the chain.

Sew in Ends.

Here are some helpful tips for weaving your crochet Afghan

1. Make sure not to skip more than 1 dc.

The finished look has straight lines of dc.

This prototype was made with long chains weaved through the row as such, there are only a few ends to sew in.

You could also weave each row separately with ends left on either side, this can be used as fringes or sewn in, this method
would leave you with lots of ends to deal with.

Make sure not to have a very tight pull after each row of threading to avoid shrinkage.

Keep similar tension while Weaving to have a uniform shape of blanket, you might find placing stitch markers at the end of each row.

There you have it, your stash-busting easy crochet Afghan. I would love to see your version!
