Log Cabin Scrapghan
PATTERN NOTES
Weave in loose ends as work progresses. Join rounds with a slip stitch unless otherwise stated. To use scraps, a variety of light and dark yarn will be needed. For each square: light yarn sections 1 and 2 need 71/2 yards, sections 5 and 6 need 141/2 yards; dark yarn sections 3 and 4 need 141/2 yards and sections 7 and 8 need 16 yards. Center yarn sections need 106 yards total. The outer light and dark sections each use about 211/2 yards per square, so you will need about 530 yards of yarn because you always use the same color of yarn for each square and joining square.

JOINING
Following Placement Diagram, starting with top left Square with the dark corner at the top and left-hand side and the Square to the left will have the dark corner at the bottom and right-hand side. The Squares will alternate across and down
in this same pattern. Join Squares to complete rows and then join the rows. Join Squares by placing RS tog and sc in matching sts of both Squares, easing to fit if necessary. Join rows in same manner.
BORDER
Rnd 1: Join D with sc in any corner, ch 1, 3 sc in same st, sc in each st or end of each row around, working 3 sc in each corner, join (see Pattern Notes) in first sc.
Rnd 2: Ch 2 (counts as first
hdc), 3 hdc in center corner sc, hdc in each st around, working 3 hdc in each corner st, join in beg ch-2. Fasten off.
