Its more than just an afghanits a chain reaction!

The Chain Reaction Aghan was a yearlong print and online project

that brought together the work o proessional and emerging de-

signers in a single aghan. The completed aghan will be auctioned

o with proceeds going to a select charity.

In this collaborative project, we created an aghan with twenty

unique squares. We asked some o your avorite designers to cre-ate hal o the squares. We provided pictures and patterns or those

ten in the Summer 2010 and Fall 2010 issues oInterweave Crochet.

The rest o the aghan was designed by you! That s right. Readers

uploaded their original designs or a 12-inch square to the gallery

at CrochetMe.com. Ten reader-designed squares were selected or

publication or the Winter 2010 and Spring 2011 issues oInterweave

Crochet.

Now, those twenty square designs have been collected together

into this one eBook! Plus, you will get the instructions or creatingthe fnal aghan.

Want some more aghan un? Visit CrochetMe.com and discover

stories o others charity blankets they have made, alone or with a

group, as well as pictures o fnished charity blankets.

Notes

Work alternates between E rnds and B

rnds. All B sts are worked in sts o previousB rnd. Most E sts are worked in sts o previ-ous E rnd. In Rnd 11, E sts are also workedin some B sts.

The E rnds orm the background andthe B rnds orm the oreground/snowfake.Always work B sts in ront o the E

background. Most E sts are worked behindthe B oreground. Only when instructed,

work E sts over B ch-sps to orm thesnowfake.

When changing color, drop old colorrom hook but do not cut yarn. Placedropped lp o other color on hook andproceed. Unless otherwise instructed, dropE to WS and B to RS. You may wish toelongate the dropped lp or use a st m to

ensure the last st does not ravel while work-ing with the other color.

Troughout the past year, weve beensupplying you with patterns or thesquares that will make up the Chain Reac-tion Aghan. Now the un can really begin! I you haveall the issues (Summer 2010Spring 2011), you havepatterns or all twenty squares (plus three bonus squares).Maybe youve been crocheting along and have a bunch osquares already nished. I not, its not too late to begin. Teidea is to start a chain reaction o people crocheting aghansor donation to your avorite blanket charity.

Te Chain Reaction Aghan is a collaboration betweenestablished crochet designers you know and love and CrochetMe readers whose designs were selected as avorites byCrochet Me members. ogether the squares pull together avast array o techniquesi you want to expand yourcrochet horizons, this is a great place to learn.

But you dont have to use all the squares in your aghan;ater all, it is your creation. Use the squares to launch yourown unique blanket idea. For instance, maybe you want toenlarge Drew Emborskys Double wist square (InterweaveCrochet Summer 2010) into a baby blanket. Or make twenty

o Lily Chins Woven Arrowheads squares (Interweave

Crochet Fall 2010) and turn them in diferent directions tomake an aghan. Or select a single square and work it in avariety o colors. Or make Lisa Naskrents Ribbon Square(CrochetMe.com) in the colors o your chosen cause. Youllnd lots o tips on techniques and ideas or making yourown designs in Series 700 oKnitting Daily TV(check www.knittingdaily.com/blogs/kdtv_series_500/content/KDVSchedule.aspx or inormation about local airing). And join

our Crochet-Along on Crochet Me or tips and techniquesrom Crochet Me readers.

o urther the chain reaction, or every aghan youdonate, we will donate $5 to Warm Up America. Beore yousend your aghan of to your avorite charity, post a picture

o your nished aghanusing squares rom the ChainReaction Aghanon Crochet Me, and let us know whereyou are sending the aghan.

We cant wait to see what colors you use and how you use

these designs in your aghans!
