This is a new pattern featuring Caron Chunky Cakes and introducing the From The Middle Afghan. The yarn is doing the work here, and the pattern is easy to follow.
Once you get started, the rounds are straightforward to maintain. One round is the setup round for the following set of 7 DC shells that are needed.
To complete this 58" square afghan, six balls of Plum Pudding are used, along with an 8 mm or US L/11 Crochet Hook.

I am currently working on this wonderful pattern. Should be a good size lap Afghan when I’m done. Love it! Thank you

I love this pattern but I don’t have enough money to buy the yarn your using, so is it ok to use a different yarn and thinner ply too??
Marina King says
you certainly can use whichever yarn you like, I'd recommend sticking close to the same weight in whatever yarn you would like to go with. otherwise, the blanket is likely to end up smaller after adjusting your hook size.

I’m trying to create a blanket with your pattern is it ok to use Double knit wool?
As I’m doing it my outside edge is curling so it looks like a lace edge is that ok? x
Marina King says
You certainly can, just a key thing to remember when changing yarn for any project, is to adjust your hook size accordingly. If you are a tight crocheter you may have to go up a hook size or two. Is that the look you are trying to get? sometimes rippling happens when there are too many stitches. If you are happy with it, try blocking and enjoy!
