Last-Minute Afghans

An alternative to typical afghan patterns, this workbook of original designs presents transportable projects that can be made in a flash. The afghans are created by knitting sections at a time and then sewing or crocheting the final afghan together, providing more versatility and less bulk to carry around during the process. The designs can be easily customized and call for affordable yarns that are readily available and can be washed. With six patterns to make in various colorways, the book offers a new perspective on the classic afghan.
