Your finished triangle should be 2.5″ wide, 2 inches tall.
Sewing it all together..
Below is an example of a 35″ square afghan. For this size you will need 49 Octagons, 36 Squares and 24 Triangles. If you are looking at making a crib sized afghan you will want to add 2 extra rows of octagons to one side of your work.
Each side of your octagons, squares and triangles have 7 stitches. To sew your pieces together use a whip stitch.
Using a yarn needle, thread some yarn into your needle (I’m using different coloured pieces and yarn to show the work better). Take 2 of your pieces and place them with right sides together, inserting your needle into the back loops of your stitches on one side.
With right sides together, insert hook into back loops of your stitches on one side.
Leave a tail so you can sew the end in, insert your hook into the back loops of the next stitch, tightening your yarn.
Insert needle into next stitch, pulling yarn tight.
Continue working int he next stitches in the back loops, continue joining the other pieces together.
Continue working int he next stitches in the back loops, continue joining the other pieces together.
Edging..
Evenly sc around the entire piece, working 9 sc evenly across the octagon sides, 9 sc along triangle sides and working 2 sc in each turn.
Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in same sc, cl st in next sc, sk 1 sc, (sc in next sc, cl st in next sc, sk 1 sc) around, invisible join to beg sc.

thank you been waiting to get this love you pages
Hi Debi! Love your YouTube tutorial on the entire project! Actually could use the step-by-step. Roughly how much yarn do you guessestimate is needed to complete this project? Attempting to cost it out so I can order the yarns online. Thanks!
What size are you looking at making? I am going to figure out the yardage of each piece. Once we know that and the size you want to make we can make a better estimate of how much yarn to order.
Pretty much like the diagram 7 rows each way. I just need to know ounces so I can order the right amount of yarn
I recently found this pattern and I am making a throw blanket for my oldest daughter. I watched the youtube video for your triangles and squares before I started making them. I read the pattern afterwards and noticed a mistake. On your triangle, the last line only says to do one dc in the last stitch and the youtube video says to do three dcs. Just trying to help. I love this pattern. Thank you so much for posting it. I can’t wait to finish this. I will be making another for my youngest daughter. She is jealous her older sister gets one first.
I will have to take a look at it, thank you for bringing it to my attention.
