I found this beautiful afghan on Home Made At My Place blog and I think is amazing! It looks like a fun and fast stitch, to be used for many purposes! A scarf, a pillow and a baby blanket, you name it! Alessandra, the kind creator of this beautiful vibrant blanket shares a fabulous step-by-step photo tutorial pattern on her blog as well as a very interesting handmade chart which you may find very useful . This Block Stitch Afghan is gorgeous, I love the way she uses color, it is so happy looking.
Some of you asked me how the “dots” ( I call them “rice grains”!!!) can pop out in this way, so I thought it will be nice if I show you how this happens!!!! Happy about that??? Yes, I imagine so!
This blanket is inspired by the Block Stitch Afghan pattern designed by Sue Pinner ( in the picture below).

i wanted to know how many chains I need to start with to make an afghan, and if I used 6 colors how do I figure out how much I need. I’m a novice as you can tell, thanks
Hi Marian, I think is safer if you ask Alessandra , the designer of this pattern, these questions. You can either click her name in the article above and then leave the question in the comments on her blog, or here is the link again:
http://homemadeatmyplace.blogspot.ro/2013/05/block-stitch-afghan-way-i-do-it.html
I’m sure she’ll get back to you asap.
I’m glad you got inspired Marian! 🙂
Thanks !
