Cast off loosely in rib (ensure corner

Join squares using diagram as
placement and direction guide.EDGING
The edging has been worked using
remnants of shades at random.
With 4.50mm straight needles and
remnant of choice, cast on 7 sts.
Garter Stitch (= knit every row) until
near end of this shade, join in next
remnant and cont in this manner until
edging fits around entire edge ofafghan; do not break yarn and do not
cast off but place sts on holder.
With RS facing of afghan and edging
facing each other, sew (or crochet
slip stitch) the edging between the
first and 2nd stitch/row in from very
edge; keep checking for placement
and evenness as you progress; gather
a couple garter stitch rows in the
corners to allow neat flow around it.
Work in this manner to end and adjust
final edging length if required, then
cast off and join.Fold edging over to the back of afghan
and evenly stitch in place.Wentworth Distributors NZ Ltd
