Re: Afgan Jacket
It looks fairly simple on the pattern layout. Let me see if I can draw
this on the puter:)
Let me first list what they write for materials and such:
14 oz knitting worsted black A
4 oz each green B,Dark pink C, Pink D, Orange E, Scarlet F, blue G,
Purple H, Emerald I,
2 oz mauve and pink J;
Crochet hook size G or size to give gauge.
Size:
one size fits all
Gauge:
each motif=4 1/2 square
Finished measurements:
Bust(incl.ribbing) 45 1/2 inches.Back at underarm 19 inches.
motif:
make 93
They also list the pattern for the squares but I thought you may have
your own, I can list this if you want.
Pattern layout:
(each "X" is one square) they use one half motif in the back neck, for
which I will use "m".

makes the colors look very pleasing.Enjoy!:)
