R2: ch 3 (counts as dc), DCX across row, dc in last st (73 DCX plus 2 dc=148 st) R1: hdc in 3rd ch and across row (148 st) This is also helpful to be able to find enough of one color run to work the border. You may wish to buy a 6th skein of yarn for this purpose. If it bothers you to see a color change mid round, you can strategically end a color at the end of a row, cut the yarn and reattach at the start of a new color change.When the skein ran out, I switched to Pistachio Yarn and continued to alternate until I ran out of yarn. For this project I started with the Pistachio Fudge yarn. Pattern can be worked with any worsted weight yarn.I found it helpful to count my bobbles and DCX stitches each row just to make sure I didn’t miss a stitch.The ch 3 at the beginning of a DCX row DOES count as a stitch.

Sample used 3 cakes in Pistachio Fudge and 2 cakes in Pistachio.

It is truly a versatile pattern. Or crochet more rows if you want it longer.Ī lot of you have shared your photos with me on Instagram and Facebook. You can make the afghan wider by adding stitches in multiples of 2. If you can’t just ‘go with’ the color changes, you can stop before a color change at the end of a row and start the next row with the next color. Of course you may like to use just one colorway of yarn or maybe even use 3 or more colorways. And that’s how the Fields and Furrows Crochet Afghan pattern got it’s name, just in time for spring! When the afghan was done and I was taking the photos, it reminded me of a farmer’s field in spring. It’s just the right size for snuggling under while watching TV. As you might guess from the name, the Pistachio Fudge has some browns with the greens and the Pistachio picks up some lighter shades.Īnd together I knew they would make the perfect afghan for my hubs. I went with 2 colors (because who can stop at 1 right?) Pistachio Fudge and Pistachio. So I decided on this delightful textured design that is just perfect for the cake yarn. I also wanted a project that would make the yarn’s color changes in the row less obvious. Somehow you feel productive with them except that they are getting dirty and sweating and you are supervising with your yarn and hook. Or maybe you’re more of an H>V kind of girl… you know…crocheting while you watch people demo and remodel their home in an hour. The kind you can work on while you watch a scary movie–and depending on how things are going you can mindlessly crochet through the intense scenes or maybe pause with your hook in the air, waiting for the suspenseful moment to pass. I wanted a project where I could just crochet away. what would I make out of it? And I have to admit… sometimes I’m a bit stumped. Sigh. I don’t know what it is about the Caron Cake yarn, but seeing those colors in that fat little organized cake of goodness just makes me happy. There’s just something a little special about going into the yarn aisle that makes me smile and fills my heart.
The perfect project for that delicious Caron Cake Yarn you’ve been drooling over! I don’t know about you, but I have a thing for yarn.
