What is a Stitch Along:
Let’s start at the very beginning. If you aren’t familiar with the term ‘stitch-along’ let me explain it to you.
Most of you might know about a crochet along or a knit along, we have been doing them for a few years with Red Heart. This is a little different in the fact that we are offering both a knit and crochet version of this project so that we can all work together! Knitter and crocheters alike can join in and participate in this project.
A stitch along is a group of people coming together to knit/crochet the same project in the same timeframe. The best part about this stitch along is that there will be video tutorials for both versions each week!
I will only be teaching the knitting version of the stitch along and will being joining Mikey from the Crochet Crowed as he teaches the crochet version. Be sure to check out his post about the stitch along to see which version you like better!

What Are We Making:
For our stitch along we will be making a beautiful Knit Festive Textures Afghan. Both the knit and crochet versions are very similar and you will enjoy either pattern that you decide to go with.
This blanket is knit with Bernat Blanket yarn in very modern colors. But you can choose any color combination you wish to make yours match your home.
