Kim's Magic Blankets

I've been reading about Magic Blankets for awhile, now, so I thought I'd get some of the patterns and notes from the internet together.

Ravelry entry that includes pattern to download.

Magic Knot tutorial - step-by-step guide

ok so a 6' x 5' blanket using 3 strands of 8ply/dk/3 weight, and a 9mm hook would be about 126 foundation chains plus turning chain and 88 rows using US dc stitch. That is the size Kim makes them.

The Zephyr Afghan

I actually started this afghan before any of the other Homeless Projects afghans!

Zephyr connotes a sense of calm, peacefulness, like a gentle west wind

Two strands of yarn, changing one of the colores every 6 or 8 rows.

LOTS of tying in the ends!
