Knitterati is back for a third time in 2019! 25 12"" squares, 25 top designers, and 27 balls of Cascade 220 Superwash Merino come together to create one gorgeous and generously sized afghan! This KAL will begin in September of 2019. This design is a free pattern, if you sign up for Cascade's newsletter - to participate, sign up for their newsletter and purchase one of our Cascade 220 Superwash Merino Kits for the lapghan!
Choose from six colorways, or create your own custom colorway afghan! The three colorways from Cascade are Teal, Olive, and Red. The team here at Jimmy Beans has come up with another THREE (!) colorways for your choosing which are Tulipwood (an ombre of deep durples to pale pink), Perfectly Purple (a mix of berry, lavender, and white), and Glorious Greys (an ombre of neutrals from dark grey to cream)!
Notions required but not included: tapestry needle, cable needle, 4.5 mm crochet hook.
Needles: US Size 7 (4.5 mm): set of dpns, 32" circular, 24" circular or straight ; US Size 6 (4 mm): set of dpns, 24" circular or straight, US Size 8 (5 mm): 24" circular or straight
Note: Not every square will require the above list of needles. Each square has its own recommended needle size - the above list includes required sizes for all squares.
