Big Circles Afghan

I made this throw mid 2013 using the Big Circle Afghan Square by Kate Jenks from Signed With An Owl.

This was one of those patterns that you have to make the minute you see it.    The circles are a brilliant way to use up those oddments of colour yarn that always seem to accumulate.

I had so much fun making the circles that I did not pay much attention to the colour combinations.

I managed to make 16 circles using up leftover yarn in red, purple, tan, dark brown, white, light blue, cornflour blue and denim.

I used beige to square the circles.

Then worked them together with Dark Brown using THIS method.

For the border I added to rows of granny clusters in beige, a row of white and a row of denim.     Then a row of single crochet in white on the reverse side and a row of denim on the right side.

I love the way the colourful circles pop against the neutral background!!
