The Southwest motif appears before your eyes as you knit this one-panel combination of interesting stitch patterns. You'll linen stitch, colorwork, and even a bit of intarsia. Linen stitch makes up the majority of the blanket, and you'll soon memorize this simple 2-row stitch pattern. One of the bonuses of linen stitch is that it lays flat, so you don't have any chance of this beautiful blanket curling on the edges. Linen stitch is a naturally dense stitch, making it the perfect choice for an afghan—it'll keep you warm without being too heavy. Designer Heidi Gustad has a knack for creating projects that feature bold colorwork, and the Arizona Afghan is a great example of that style. [Subscribe now.]( [Yes!

She also provides tips for successful colorwork and talks a little about her design process for the Arizona Afghan. The center diamond motif is worked in intarsia, which is sometimes called picture knitting. This is a nice technique that enables knitters to add features in their projects without having to carry additional colors on the wrong side of the knitting. So much fun!
