FYI | Drumlin Reversible Afghan is Coming

• The pattern is written for worsted weight yarn.
• It's the ideal way to turn one-skein yarns into something cozy and useful.

The holidays are right around the corner. If I had to choose one afghan to make as a gift, it would be Drumlin. Why?

The fluted ridge stitch knits quickly, produces a completely reversible texture and is easy to memorize. These factors make Drumlin a remarkably speedy project: I can complete a compact version in about three to four weeks, which is astonishing since I'm a relatively slow knitter. If want to learn about Drumlin and it's versatility, you'll find more examples here, here and here.

If you simply must start an afghan today, consider Twegen. The look is similar and it too is fast, easy and reversible.
