The afghan that started it all. The Great American Afghan book features the original patterns from the Knitter’s Magazine series, circulated twelve years ago. The blanket received a revamp, and now knits up with that go-to yarn of utility, Cascade 220. This book is chock-full of patterns, from the standard to whimsical.

Afghans are a wonderful way to test the waters and broaden your knitting skill set, whether you knit every pattern or simply mix and match your favorites. Don’t forget that working on individual squares makes for perfect project portability!

So come into the store, admire the blanket and pick out colors to make your own!
