Ring-road (Anamorphic)

This is an anamorphic representation of our Long and Winding Road afghan. When a cylinder is placed on Ring-road, the original rectangular spiral can be seen in the cylinder. When the cylinder is not there, the afghan becomes a twisting labyrinth.

The afghan in the photo was made in DK yarn and measures approximately 135 cm (53”) in diameter. It can be made in any yarn and the pattern contains information for changing the size.

This is a very detailed pattern. It is not difficult but the instructions must be followed systematically and carefully. Only one yarn is used at a time. Much of it is knitted in narrow pieces with no more than 40 stitches on the needle. Other parts are knitted in one piece with up to 700 stitches on the needles. You will probably need two circular needles to hold the number of stitches. The gaps between the ‘rays’ have to be stitched when the knitting is finished.
