ROW 2: Sc in first st. Then work * 2 sc in ch 2 space, sc in next sc. Repeat from * across. Fasten off. Work other end of afghan the same way.
EDGING: With purple yarn and 3-inch crochet loom, and working on one side of loom, make 2 strips each of 200 lps, and 2 each of 150 lps.
To Make Edging: Edging is worked in the same way as regular strips, but instead of working the single crochet down the center of the loom, it is worked close to one prong. This will make the loops on one side of strip longer than the other. With J-10 crochet hook, and working on smallest loops, pull 2 lps through 2 lps all the way across each strip. If you prefer, the long loop may be cut for a fringe effect.
Sew the longer strips to the sides, and the shorter ones to the ends, easing them around the corners, keeping them flat.
PILLOW:
Make 18 strips each of 42 lps each side as follows:
6—blue
4—purple
8—white
Join by pulling 2 lps through 2 lps as follows: Starting with blue strip continue with white, purple, white, blue, white, purple, white, blue, blue, white, purple, white, blue, white, purple, white, blue. When all strips have been joined, join the first strip to the last. Weave in all ends. Slip pillow form in and sew both ends.
