Afghan Stitch Tips

RE: afagan Stitch Tips Post by B-N-K Creations (2) | (08/14/2007) Profile | Contact I would like to know if any one knows where i can buy the hooks & patterns for the afagan stitch i live in winsor pa. i can't find them any where, i used to do this stitch a lot, but some where along the line everything got misplaced. Thank's Connie RE: Afghan Stitch Tips Post By BUNNIEKNIT (Guest Post) (01/19/2006) Mine also does that, especialy when I use a lightweight yarn. I have found that if you block the item by pinning it to a bed and steaming it lightly (Don't touch the iron to the afghan!) and allow it to dry thoroughly before unpinning it, the edge will usually stay straight. Since I almost always add fringe, I do this first so it is easier to work with. Good luck!

You might put fringe on the ends when you are done to help it lay flat. Another option would be to crochet a border all the way around it after it is done.

If you have a pattern that looks the same on both sides and you are working on a cylinder shape, you can turn it around and work your crochet across the "inside" of the piece.
