A Zig and A Zag CAL
Section 6: Zig Zag Double String
Wow! Is your summer flying by fast like mine? Can you believe that you're just about 1/2 way finished with a full sized afghan? I am so glad you decided to join me!
This week, I'm introducing you to the last new stitch in our A Zig and A Zag crochet - a - long. This is the Zig Zag Double String stitch and it's another quick one to work. I chose to work my section in a single color. It would be great in different colors too, so have fun with it and be creative! After this section, you are welcome to complete your project on your own with the stitches we've learned to make it completely your own OR you can continue to join me each week as we work the sections back to the beginning to have a balanced afghan.
If you're just joining us and would like to start your own project, you can find all the details in the beginning post HERE: http://craftingfriendsdesigns.blogspot.com/2017/06/a-zig-and-zag-afghan-crochet-long.html
Give yourself a pat on the back for all your hard work to this point, grab your yarn and crochet hook and let's enjoy this new stitch together.
