Do you love the idea of crafting an afghan with a meaningful image but get frustrated or intimidated by the reality? It can be a real challenge trying to read a graph and figure out the best way to change colors – all while dealing with a tangled mess of yarn every time you begin a new row. Not to mention getting halfway through your project before realizing the image isn’t proportional!
This was my experience years ago when I first tried my hand at making a “graphghan.” I knew there had to be an easier way…so I created the Stickler® Guide.
This EMT Star of Life pattern is intermediate level. My mission is to create patterns that are fun for all skill levels. The free Stickler® Graph offered here provides a much simpler counting experience than the typical graph pattern – each block is one single crochet stitch and has the same proportions of the typical SC. The blocks are clearly numbered in sets of 4 for easier counting.
If you’re less familiar with graph patterns or changing colors you’ll love the additional instructions and how to drawings available in the full Stickler® Guide!
