The Great American Afghan: A Special Knitter's Magazine Publication

Don't think of all of these squares as being equal. Some are challenging, others are simple. We present all 25 squares with the idea that you need not make an exact copy of our original. You could decide to knit your afghan by repeating several of your favorite squares, or even by making it with just one or two squares. Use the squares to come up with other projects. One square with an edging makes an ideal pillow. Back it with a plain square or a second afghan square. Use more than 25 squares and you'll have a bedspread; use fewer squares to make a baby-sized crib blanket. Refer to Knitter's School illustrations to assist you in learning new techniques.
