Lincoln Afghan Pattern #6610
Size—About 48 x 72 inches
This Afghan was a great favorite with the Pioneers of our country. They used any yarn, any color, and any weight to make this comfortable coverlette. They knitted two strands together in the light weight yarn, and worked alternate rows of color in some of the squares to use up all the odds and ends of the different colors.
