Hi!!!
I am trying to find the directions for a Woman's Day magazine pattern for a "1 day lap afghan"...it is one large granny square that you use 3 strands of yarn to crochet. Size "Q" crochet hook. You keep breaking off strands of the 1st color every few rounds & add the next color.
Thanks!!!!
(btw...it was from the mid 1980's, I believe)

I have the Woman's Day magazine pattern for the 1 day granny square afghan. It uses three strands of Unger's Fluffy yarn. I will gladly send Janet and Grace a copy of the pattern.
