Afghans & Throws FAQ
What is the difference between an afghan and a throw?
They are mostly the same thing. "Afghan" is the traditional name for a crocheted or knitted blanket. "Throw" usually means a sofa-sized blanket of about 120 × 150 cm.
How long does an afghan take?
Plan for 20–40 hours for a throw. Square-based designs are easy to carry around and work on in small bursts.
How do I keep the edges straight?
Count your stitches at the end of every row, and always work the last stitch into the turning chain or top of the last stitch.
