I designed the Festival of Fall Square originally in 2016 for a Designer Project for the Moogly 2016 Sample Afghan. I decided it would be beautiful to make 15 Squares of this design and make our own lovely afghan! Since the design is a few years old, the particular yarn I used is discontinued in some of the colors… So I decided to go with Red Heart Yarn this time around and below you will see what my color choices are… They are very similar to the original colors made with Lion Brand Yarn pictured below.
Estimated Size:
Yarn and tension may vary and make your personal project slightly different. I am making this project along with you so the completed project size and yardage are only an estimate.
43″ x 68″ Blocked
Supplies:
Yarn:
Red Heart ~ I recommed 5 colors, but minimum of 2 to show off the textural stitching. I used both With Love (370 yds ea) and Super Saver (364 Yds ea)colors to get the color scheme I wanted:
- A~ With Love in Boysenberry (2 skeins)
- B~ Super Saver in Gold (3 skeins)
- C~ Super Saver in Dark Orchid (3 skeins)
- D~ Super Saver in Carrot (2 skeins)
- E~ With Love in Spinach (2 skeins)
