Mad Men Afghans, Part 3: The Beth

This is probably the last afghan from the series. If you see another one, please let me know. We only see this in one scene in  episode 513 (”The Phantom”), but it’s simple enough to figure out. Another cut. 

Somewhat fittingly, we see dark, drab colors in a very traditional granny square pattern. Beth may have made this herself or made it in therapy. If you have ever struggled with the dreaded granny square quadrilateral, Red Heart has come to the rescue with this version. I doubt their website will go down, but here is my version of partial text directions: 

Chain 4 and join to form a ring. Round 1 (right side): Chain 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in ring, (chain 2, 3 dc in ring) 3 times, chain 2. Join with slip stitch to top of beginning chain 3: 4 clusters and 4 corner spaces. Round 2 (wrong side): Chain 3, turn. (2 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in first corner space, (chain 1, [3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc] in next corner space) 3 times, chain 1. Join with slip stitch to top of beginning chain 3: 8 clusters and 4 corner spaces. Round 3: Chain 3, turn. 2 dc in first chain-1 space, chain 1, (3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in next corner space, * chain 1, 3 dc in next chain-1 space, chain 1, (3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in next corner space; repeat from * 2 more times, chain 1. Join with slip stitch to top of beginning chain 3: 12 clusters, 8 spaces, and 4 corner spaces. Round 4: Chain 3, turn. 2 dc in first chain-1 space, chain 1, (3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in next corner space, * (chain 1, 3 dc in next chain-1 space) twice, chain 1, (3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in next corner space; repeat from * 2 more times, chain 1, 3 dc in last chain-1 space, chain 1. Join with slip stitch in top of beginning chain 3: 16 clusters, 12 spaces, and 4 corner spaces. Round 5: Chain 3, turn. 2 dc in first chain-1 space, chain 1, 3 dc in next chain-1 space, chain 1, (3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in next corner space, * (chain 1, 3 dc in next chain-1 space) 3 times, chain 1, (3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in next corner space; repeat from * 2 more times, chain 1, 3 dc in last chain-1 space, chain 1. Join with slip stitch to top of beginning chain 3: 20 clusters, 16 spaces, and 4 corner spaces. Round 6: Chain 3, turn. 2 dc in first chain-1 space, chain 1, 3 dc in next chain-1 space, chain 1, (3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in next corner chain-2 space, * (chain 1, 3 dc in next chain-1 space) 4 times, chain 1, (3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in next corner space; repeat from * 2 more times, (chain 1, 3 dc in next chain-1 space) twice, chain 1. Join with slip stitch to top of beginning chain 3: 24 clusters, 20 spaces, 4 corner spaces. 

After squinting at screencaps, I see 4 different colors of granny squares: saffron, soft/burnt orange, medium brown/tan, and either burgundy or darker brown. The squares are worked in these colors for 5 rounds, then a sage or khaki green is joined for another round as a finish. That’s why my text directions only go to round 6. I assume they’re joined using that same green. The burgundy/darker brown is then used to work a single-round scalloped edge around the entire thing.
