Instructions

To change the size, the stitch multiple is 16 chains + 1.

Using 2 strands of regular 4 ply worsted yarn together. In this example, both yarn balls used together are at the exact same spot in each ball. So each ball transitions to the next colour almost simultaneously. There is a slight lag of one colour; it’s still crocheted, as it’s barely noticeable. This afghan is the moss stitch done as a chevron afghan. Lagging the colour can be fun too. You can get the look below if you don't let the yarn balls have the same colour at the same time.
