Follow the leader: First a leader or
"head of the line" is chosen, then the children all line up behind the leader. The leader then moves around and all the children
have to mimic the leader's actions. Any players who mess up or do not do what the leader does are out of the game. The last
person standing other than the leader is now the new leader.
I first designed this in 1988 before the birth of my
first grandchild. Since then hundred of prospective moms and grandmothers have knit this afghan. Many in my New York City
Shop (the woolgathering) and many more in knitting in scottsdale.
The afghan is knit in strips, then crocheted together. All
the contrasting color is worked after completion, following very easy instructions.
