Pinwheel

When I did a review of Quilts to Crochet almost 3 years ago, this pamphlet was no longer being printed. Lo and behold Leisure Arts is now doing so. I found it both Amazon and Leisure Arts for $7.95.  I have adapted two of my Tunisian afghans from the Pinwheel pattern on the front cover. The first one I made I used the traditional basic afghan stitch. With the second one, I used the knit stitch.

Here they are:

I used a flexible afghan hook and cast on 152 (19 times 8 ) stitches. Then just follow the chart for changing colors. You’ll need quite a few yarn bobbins. If you don’t mind lots of weaving on the back, it’s really a great looking afghan. I finished off the ends with fringe as Tunisian crochet, particularly the knit stitch, tends to curl. The fringe resolves that problem nicely.
