This Destination Unknown Afghan is like having two afghans in one using my double overlay mosaic crochet technique! The front of the afghan has a mesmerizing illusion of a hidden door, while the back has a repeating Hitomezashi stitch pattern!
If weaving in the ends, or hiding them in an envelope border, is your least favorite part of a mosaic project, you’ll love making this afghan. It starts two rows at a time with a two-color chain for the fringe, the rows are worked separately, then joined together again to complete the two-color chain fringe at the end of the two rows. This “two-colour chain DS” is created by, and used with permission of, Assia Brill, creator of the Distitch technique. You can learn this two-colour chain DS on Assia Brill’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1IJzsKKCXY.
