Magsterone,

reference to your question about the navajo afghan.  if you are talking about the one with the diamond pattern, i made this afghan for a baby a couple of times and just used baby yarn with the pastel colors and it turned out great.  it makes a large blanket, because i used the same amount in the beginning chain that the adult one called for.

Hi,

I purchased a crib blanket made in this pattern years ago and was also given the instructions by the women complete with the downsizing.

For a baby blanket she chained 124.

For a crib blanket she said to chain 144. (56x44) counting the 2inch fringe. This is the crib blanket I have and it is beautiful.

She also had notes on the instructions that 20 stitches makes another diamond.

In the full size afghan. Chain 245 for a small (60x48)

                                         Chain 285 for a large(72x52)

If you like using the H needle. Chain 185 or 187 or for a longer afghan chain 205.

Hope this helped.

How many skeins would you use for the baby size?

The blanket is beautiful I can see why you would want it for a baby, it would be a nice gift.

  Hi, DarbyCreek:     I have been looking for this pattern for a long time.  I did have it but since we moved I cannot find it.  I made the pattern in Navajo colors years ago when I made it and I would like to make another one.  The colors you used are really pretty.  If you could give me the pattern I would appreciate it enormously.   Sincerely,  Mysteries

I enjoy this pattern, also.  What I did is make a graph.  I used paper with a grid.  Marked it with X for the double crochet.  I looked at the afghan I had made & from this I decided how big I wanted to make the baby afghan.  I, too, tried to find someone who had written one out.  With this you don't need a pattern except for figuring out how many SC you will need to get started.  After this you can follow the graph

Fantastic!  You have figured it out.  I used a graph and put an X for the DC. I then made the graph the size I wanted.  I have one I started

a couple of years ago because it is so big.  I grow tired of working on it and put it aside.  I am just about finished with it.  I like your colors.

And, yes, it has helped me.
