YO-YO AFGHANS SECTION 1 Yo-Yo Afghans General Instructions Yo-yo's are one round of double crochet that can be crocheted together in a hexagon based pattern to make lots of different items, including afghans. They're great for using up yarn scraps, but you can also make hexagon-graphed, join-asyou-go patterns ! I think you'll be surprised at how many different looks can be achieved using this method. YO-YO AFGHANS <strong>Crochet</strong> Along's September-October 2000 Project Basic Yo-Yo Pattern  With a size I hook & worsted weight yarn, each yo-yo uses about 62" of yarn and is about 1 3/4" across.   Ch 4, join with a sl st to the first ch to form a ring.   Round 1: Ch 3 to count as the first dc, work 11 more dc in the ring. Fasten off. Joining Methods  These joining methods are hexagon-based. Every yo-yo (except those on the ends and sides of the afghan) will be joined to six other yo-yo's at two points each. Work over yarn ends whenever possible. Flat Braid Joining (This method produces a textured, tighter joining.) Net Stitch Joining (This method produces a looser, lacier joining.) 2
Hexagon Joining (Use either the flat braid or net stitch joining to make hexagon motifs or a hexagon afghan.) Graphed Yo-Yo Afghans  A design can be worked into a yo-yo afghan, if desired. Happy <strong>Crochet</strong>ing! 3
