Ground From Above Afghan

Knitting pieces together is an enjoyable and convenient way to create beautiful projects! Whether you're a beginner or an advanced knitter, this technique is accessible to everyone. If you're looking to make a cozy Afghan, using a chunky yarn is the way to go, as it knits up quickly and efficiently. For my sample, I've chosen Universal Yarn Deluxe Chunky, but feel free to explore many other fantastic chunky yarn options! Ideal choices include popular brands and weights such as Magnum or Comfort Chunky from King Cole, James C. Brett Lazy Days, Bernat Softee Chunky, Lana Grossa Mille II, and Schoeller und Stahl Filzi. To get started with your knitted Afghan, you'll want to use yarn that has a recommended weight of approximately 100m to 100g—this ensures a nice, plush finish. Additionally, consider using chunky yarns like Katia Peru or Alaska, Cascade Pacific Chunky or Anthem Chunky, Grundl Wolle Filzwolle Uni, Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Chunky, and similar alternatives for a variety of textures and colors. Before diving into your project, it’s essential to know how to work basic cable stitches along with simple stitches such as knit, purl, make one, and knit two stitches together. Familiarity with some basic crochet stitches is also vital, as these will be needed for joining all the knitted squares into one big, beautiful piece. The best part? You have the creative freedom to knit your Afghan as large or as small as you desire, allowing you to customize it to perfectly fit your space. So, gather your materials and get ready to create a stunning Afghan that showcases your knitting skills and adds warmth to your home!
