    Rainbow Wave Afghan Pattern

    This afghan is really stunning. You can decide to crochet using the back loops as it is suggesting or do the regular stitches. Each has a unique way of looking. If you review my video tutorial on the bottom, you can clearly see the difference between the two stitching techniques. Personally, I don't think the back loops on this project is tough at all and looks far better.

    Honestly speaking, this afghan takes a bit of getting started to count the stitches. You may think you are screwing up as it takes 2 rows to be done before it starts looking like the pattern. So stick with it and you will be happy.

    For this pattern, I have not been able to figure out the multiple counts to make different width sizes.

      Just found this Rainbow Waves Throw and it's beautiful. I see a notation about not knowing the pattern multiple but I'd really like to make this in a smaller size. Any ideas? Or, maybe someone has come up with a multiple they could share or a way to do it? I appreciate your time. 🙂

        Try this design. It's similar. There is a stitch multiple of 22 chs + 6 to change the sizing. See this link: https://thecrochetcrowd.com/joann-fall-stitch-along-2021/ The bargellow bands scarf is adjustable and it's already noted.

        The pattern calls for Red Heart Super Saver which is a worsted weight yarn (#4) and calls for a 5mm/H hook.
