Hii, thank you for your help! I am going to knit an afghan using this pattern I found on Lion Yarn's website but it does not seem logical to me. Looking at the pattern, it seems the blanket would just keep getting smaller because the pattern calls for round after round of knitting two stitches together again and again. Wouldn't this result in a decrease of stitches, therefore how in the world can this make an afghan?? By the time I am done, will I be ending up with like 4 stitches? haha It seems wierd to me hopefully someone sees something that I don't!
Pattern below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFGHAN
Cast on 114 sts. Knit 4 rows.
Row 1: Knit.
Row 2: K3, p to last 3 sts, k3.
Row 3: K3, (k2tog) 3 times, (yo, k1) 6 times, *(k2tog) 6 times, (yo, k1) 6 times; rep from * to last 9 sts, (k2tog) 3 times, k3.
Row 4: Knit.
Rep Rows 1-4 until piece measures about 53 in. (134.5 cm) from beginning. Knit 4 rows. Bind off.
FINISHING
Weave in ends.
