Cons of This Afghan Knitting Pattern

• Due to frequent color changes, there are lots of ends to darn in, which can add extra time to your finishing process.
• For those who are absolute perfectionists, this pattern might not meet your standards. Upon close inspection, you may find that some color transitions are not as flawless as you would prefer.

For the best results, we recommend using a yarn with a certain level of wool content, as this will allow you to block your finished afghan more easily and give it a polished look.
