how to join knitting yarn
How to join pieces of a knitted afghan?
I was at an auction and bought a hand-knit afghan in pieces. There are 4 sections in a cable knit pattern (stockinette stitch on the sides) and each section is 12" wide by 60" long. I want to join them to make a 48 x 60 baby blanket for my new grand-daughter, who's nursery is decorated in purple and pink.
What would be the best way to join the pieces? I'm not a knitter, but can crochet a little. Obviously, I won't be able to find an exact match to the purple yarn used, so will have to find a nice pink. Or is there some way to "invisibly" join them?
Thanks for your help.
For an invisible stitch, this might work:

Single crocheting the pieces together would work too
