"The beauty of Catherine Wheel afghan is that you can make it any size you want - even the pattern states "Once youve worked the length desired then finish with 1 row of black." Just know that the base chain for any Catherine Wheel is to chain any multiple of 10 sts, 7 sts. (I dont know how this pattern starts with 50 chain.) I have made several Catherine Wheel items over the years (2 afghans, a few pillows 3 scarfs). This pattern is only the basic instructions for a Catherine Wheel AND it is in Australian terminology meaning you may need to convert to North American terminology. If you are looking for a full afghan pattern is completed dimensions and yarn amounts, this may not be the one for you to use."

"I am assuming you are having a problem understanding where the pattern states working in ends of rows of first side, sc in first row, 2 sc in next row, sc in next row. When you crochet up the SIDES of the afghan, you are putting 2sc in one row and then 1 sc in the the next row. This is a common technique when edging crochet items since these edges are never even like the original chain row or the cast-off row. I hope this helps."

"Starting on this pattern now with wool ease (weight 4). Confused about your "gauge" directions "Basic Square = 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" sts = 4" rows = 4" in sc" how many SC in 4"?? How many rows to get 4" Surely I do not make an entire Basic Square and then measure to see if it is 6.5" square????? Help plz?"

Easy Weekend Crochet Afghan

"Yes, it is possible to make this easy weekend crochet afghan in just two days. Pair this soft, bulky yarn with a large crochet hook and you are all set to start and finish this pattern in the same weekend. Double Crochet V-Stitch. Normally, the V-Stitch has a chain 1 or 2 in the middle. Since this yarn is bulky, I opted not to work any chain stitched between the two double crochet stitches that make up the V-Stitch. While the yarn is bulky, the blanket itself is not thick. The larger crochet hook paired with the open and lacy stitch makes an afghan with a gorgeous drape that has a soft and squishy feel too. "
