Flower Power Yo-Yo Afghan - Priscilla's Crochet

YO-YO AFGHANS SECTION 1
Flower Power Yo-Yo
Afghan
This is a little different from the usual yo-yo afghan. The
scrap yarn "flowers" are joined individually in a coordinating
color first, then the "flowers" are joined with a main
color yo-yo.
Materials:
Yarn: Worsted weight acrylic
Joining yarn: About 32-40 ounces black, white or off white
worsted weight acrylic
Hook: Size I
Finished size: As graphed, about 50" wide and 72" long, but
is easily adjustable by adjusting number of "flower" rows.
