an afghan, however, just read on.
The cross-stitch technique used
for an afghan is an adaptation of
“counted cross-stitch,” a
technique most often used for
needlework samplers. In counted
cross-stitch, instead of stitching
over a printed design, the
needleworker copies a design from
a separate chart.
By counting boxes on a chart,
and then counting threads in the
fabric, the needleworker copies the
design, stitch by stitch, from chart
to fabric. The even weave of
today’s popular cross-stitch cloths
makes the process easy.
Like even weave cloth, an
afghan stitched fabric is an ex
cellent background for cross
stitch. To copy a design from a
chart, you simply count one afghan
stitch for each box in the design
chart.
Here are directions for cross
stitching an afghan:
PREPARATION: 1. Crochet a
solid-colored fabric sample using
the afghan stitch, keeping the
