Abstract
The Hue Shift afghan consists of 100 squares knit with 10 colours in a manner determined by a diagram. How many ways can you knit a Hue Shift afghan? What makes an afghan a Hue Shift is defined. Then the number of different afghans is determined up to symmetry considering colour order, stripe order, and direction of knitting for each square. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
