Every once in a while, I find that I have a lot of small bits of yarn in my fiber stash. This pattern was a great way to use up a bunch of those bits. I still had to purchase a few skeins of white wool yarn which I dyed with food coloring to make sure I had lots of contrasting colors. Since it is almost 100% wool, it is heavy—over four pounds.
Because I used yarns of many different sizes, the afghan does not lie flat but is a bit wavy throughout.
The afghan is made up of these hourglass shaped motifs. Once you have knitted a few of them, you have the pattern memorized. (The pattern is free on Ravelry.com—search for “An African Adventure.” However, the instructions on how to piece it together are a bit vague.)
