Our patterns have been worked many times by our in
shop clients. Your comments are always welcome.
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. The afghan has six squares that can be personalized after completion (see children's afghans # 4 follow the leader)
