I came up with this because i need a quick, but pretty afghan pattern. This is pretty basic, but with the color changes I think it just flows so well. I think i'm going to try it again with more colors and changing them every two blocks.

Needles: US size 10 circluar needle

Rows 1-14 knit all stitches

Row 28: k10 *p10, k10* repeat ending with k10

Repeat blocks 1 & 2 changing colors as indicated for a total of 30 blocks.

What a gorgeous afghan! Thank you so much for posting this. I can't wait to get started on mine!!
Happy knitting!
Wow that is gorgeous. I just love the colors. :D
I'm new to knitting so i'll have to eventually try that as i get better.
This looks amazing.
This is beautiful. Was it hard to knit in one piece? Can it be done in pieces then joined together? Would I have to alter the pattern to do so? (I.e. Add more rows to the blocks at the border edges where I'm joining sections?)
Happy New Year! I was looking for a basketweave pattern and here it is! Starting it now. Thanks for a great pattern?
Is very beautiful I knit rows 1-14.I did row 15 but I'm confused with row 16 it says k10 *k10, p10*repeat ending with k10 but the pattern is multiples of 10. (270 stitches) I can't end with k, can you explain that to me please. Thank you
