New Slant

New Slant is a texture-rich afghan pattern with clean, simple lines that lend a modern look but are anything but boring - to look at or make! Complete crochet charts are included and can be used on their own or as a helpful tool with the written pattern. Instructions for 4 different sizes - Baby, kid/lapghan/ medium throw, and large throw (see details below) - are included in the pattern. Pattern is also very easy to customize to meet your own size requirements - you can increase and decrease width and length in increments of about 9 inches (23cm). Instructions also include color placement for 6 - 8 different colors in all 3 sizes if you'd like to create your own color palette. Pattern is also available on Etsy.
