Materials

Caron Super Soft Yarn

What are you most proud of?

This is my first afghan so I'm pleased overall with the way it turned out. The pattern images show the pattern stitch fairly loose and laying flat. I chose to put slightly more tension on the yarn which made the effect puffier.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I wouldn't make it quite as large as I did if you're using Caron Super Soft yarn as it's REALLY heavy. Mine stretches the width of a king sized bed so makes a pretty bed scarf. However, if you're going to use this as a throw, I'd make it smaller.
