Project Information

This CAL consists of 12 block designs. Each design is used three times, resulting in 36 blocks.

For a small afghan: join the blocks 6×6.
For a runner: join the blocks 12×3.
For a shawl: join the blocks 9×4.

Yarn Requirements

The official yarn for this project is MoYa DK Cotton.

Kits are available from Afrique Yarns.

Each kit consists of:

18x 50g balls i the main colour
2x 50g balls in each of the six contrast colours – 12 balls.

If you choose not to use the official yarn, you will have to calculate how much yarn you will need, by making a test block, and then weigh, measure and calculate.

Avoid the following yarns:

Anything textured – you need a SMOOTH yarn;
Anything with a tendency to split – you need a high twist yarn;
Anything variegated – you need solid colours, in strong contrast to one another;
Anything thicker than DK – it will be too heavy.

Hook Requirements

I used a 4mm and 4.5mm hook. The only way you will be able to determine your hook size for this project, is to swatch. If you are going to use a kit, you HAVE to swatch. Otherwise you might not have enough yarn in your kit.
