Round Crocheted Afghan

I've been looking for an easy pattern to make a round afghan.  I don't have any desire to count stitches on every row to make the increases in the right places to keep the afghan from rippling or cupping. 

Lion Brand Yarn has three versions of this easy round afghan.  It looks like the increases are automatic once you get the pattern established.  You put the increasing double crochets in the increases of the row below every time.

I can see this with planned colors, and I can see it as a stash-buster.



Yes, it looks like it would be a crazy thing to do in this July weather, but if you start in the middle, it just might cool off several degrees by the time you went around enough to lay it on your lap.

Happy crafting,
