When you want to make an afghan with a different color in each square, but your stash doesn't stretch to that goal, you might want to try this.
You will need thin yarn of a contrasting color. When you have a color you like, add a thin white, cream, or contrasting color ensuring a different color square with a color you have already used in your afghan, but the outcome with be entirely different. You need nothing more than you already have.
Total Time: Same time as any square you might make
Yield: Same amount of squares as normal
Supplies:
- main and background color yarn
- lighter weight yarn, such as baby weight
- crocket hook
Steps:
- Choose the primary color.
- Select a thin yarn (less ply than the original color). Baby weight yard is helpful in this.
- Crochet both strands together as if they were one strand.
- Enjoy a look that isn't variegated, but isn't the color of another square.
- You can also make only part of your main pattern using this method for an even different look.
