DOUBLE CLICK PHOTO FOR CLOSE-UP DETAIL
Created by Patty Thomas, San Francisco Knit Designer & Owner of Daisy Yarns of San Francisco for individual use (not to be copied or published without permission, www.daisyyarns.com), June-2011. This project was retested several times.
A gorgeous afghan with mini fans (just yarn overs), reversible cables and seed stitch sides will keep you cozy. (9 seed stitch borders with 12 stitch mini fans and 8 stitch reversible cables). This pattern was designed specifically for using Fibra Natura’s Sensational Superwash 100% Merino Wool to get this look. This yarn is machine washable Gentle Cycle in cold water and machine dryable on Wool Heat or Low Heat levels! I have seen this after machine gentle washing cold/drying wool/cool level & it looks fantastic out of the dryer. I named this afghan after one of my favorite beach areas of San Francisco. It has one of the most diverse landscapes in the city of San Francisco.
Level: INTERMEDIATE (Knowledge of cables/seed stitches & yarn overs – however, one of my beginning knitters of less than one year has made this) Finished Size: 39 inches wide x 46 inches long
Materials: ___16____ balls of Fibra Natura’s SENSATIONAL SUPERWASH 100% Merino Wool in Silver Gray #40839 (If you want to knit this in two or three colors see photo and notes at bottom of this page. It would be 18 balls of yarn), US Size 10 Circular Knitting Needles that are 47 or 55 Inches for Length, Cable Hook, Row Counter, Yarn Needle, 2 pks of Stitch Markers (you MUST use stitch markers to keep the pattern in sync).
KNITTING WITH TWO OR THREE COLORS: 2 rounds of Rows 1-8 sets = 2 ˝ inches knitted. Therefore if you want to knit this in two or even three colors it is very doable. You just stop after the 2nd round of Rows 1-8 sets and Add In new color with minimal left over yarn starting on 3rd set of ROW 1. You would need 18 balls of balls of different colors. Example: 9 Balls of Color A, 9 Balls of Color B or 6 Balls of Color A, 6 Balls of Color B, 6 Balls of Color C. Note: the width at “beginning” appears a little less due to the cast on line.
