Every one of the 12 Squares in this afghan uses a different knitting technique. Some of the techniques used are entrelac, intarsia, mitered squares, cables and stranded colorwork. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn something new. Make all 12 squares for a full size afghan or select just the squares you wish to learn and use them to make a baby sized blanket or a lap blanket or pillows.
