To make a baby afghan, use fine yarn and an F hook, for a larger afghan use medium weight yarn and an I hook, for a really big afghan, use bulky yarn and a K hook or larger.
shell = make 3 dc in one ch or space.
cluster (cl)= (yo, insert hook, yo, draw up a loop, yo, draw thru 2 loops)
3 times in same ch or space. Yo draw thru all 4 lps.
Instructions:
Chain 166,
Row 1: Dc in 4th ch from hook, (ch 1, sk 2 ch, shell in next ch) 3 times,
*ch 1, skip 2 ch, (shell, ch-3, shell) in next ch, (ch 1, sk 2 ch,
shell in next ch) 2 times, Ch 1, skip 2 ch, cl in next ch, skip 4, cl in next ch,
(ch 1, skip 2 ch, shell), 2 times, repeat from * 5 more times.
Ch 1, skip 2 ch, (shell, ch 3, shell) in next ch, (ch 1, sk 2 ch, shell in next ch) 3 times.
Ch 1, skip next 2 ch, dc in last ch, turn. (7 “peaks”, and 6 “valleys”)
Row 2: Ch 3, skip next ch-1 sp and shell, (shell in ch-1 sp, ch 1) 3 times.
* (shell, ch 3, shell ) in next ch-3 sp, (ch 1, shell in next ch-1 sp) 2 times.
Ch 1, cl in next ch-1 sp, skip 2 cl sts, cl in next ch-1 sp,
(ch 1, shell in next ch-1 sp) 2 times, ch 1; Repeat from * across 5 more times.
(shell, ch 3, shell ) in next ch-3 sp, (ch 1, shell in next ch-1 sp) 3 times. Ch 1,
dc in top of turning-ch, turn.
Remaining rows: Repeat Row 2.
Edging: Sc in each dc and ch across top skipping the cluster stitches and
making 2 sc in the center ch of the ch-3 peaks. Sc down the side making 1 sc
in the ch-3's and 2 sc in the dcs. Place 2 sc in the corner stitchs. Sc across the
beginning chain skipping 3 ch's below the 2-shell inside corner, and placing 2 sc in each of the center 2 skipped chs between the clusters. Sc up the other side in the same manner as the first side. Sl st in first sc, break off and fasten. Draw in tails.
