Flower Power Yo-Yo Afghan
by Priscilla Hewitt ©2000
A small section of the afghan is pictured
(For general yo-yo instructions, click here.)
This is a little different from the usual yo-yo afghan. The scrap yarn "flowers" are joined individually in a coordinating color first, then the "flowers" are joined with a main color yo-yo.
Yarn: Worsted weight acrylic
Joining yarn: About 32-40 ounces black, white or off white worsted weight acrylic.
Hook: Size I
Finished size: As graphed, about 50" wide and 72" long, but is easily adjustable by adjusting number of "flower" rows.
Number of yo-yo's used: 811 ( 371 assorted colors + 440 main color, worked as afghan is joined.)
Joining method: Make 53 hexagon "flowers" (click here) using the net stitch joining method (click here) and a coordinating color yarn (not the main color) for joining. Then join the flowers as in the graph with yo-yo's crocheted in the main color, then edged and joined with the main color using the net stitch method.
Edging: Using size J hook and main color, work 2 sc in each unjoined ch-3 sp around the outside of the afghan.
