    I would like to make an Afghan with pattern moss and diagonal sta how many stswould I have to cast on

    • Johnny Vasquez says:

      I can’t tell you that. It depends on too many factors like your yarn weight, needle size, tension, size you want it to be.

      Your best bet is to do a gauge swatch, measure your sts per inch, multiply that by the number of inches you want your finished piece to be, then adjust that number so it is divisible by the cast on multiples. Finally add the additional stitches necessary by the cast on (the +X at the end) and any stitches for a border.

      Does that help?
