NOTE: This afghan is worked using worsted weight yarn in the colors specified
with each project. It is made up of two different types of granny
squares: a solid color granny and a bi-color granny. General directions
for each are as follows below. Simply crochet the number of squares
needed for each block in the color required then assemble as described
in instructions. Note: This quilt contains a slightly modified design for use as the windows if you wish to cross stitch or embroider figures inside the vehicles. If you wish to leave them out, just make the solid color granny instead.
