Giant Granny Crochet Afghan
Lion Brand® Homespun®
GAUGE: 3 rows dc = 4" (10 cm) using 2 strands of Homespun. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

| I had 4 leftover skeins of 'Spice' and 5 skeins of 'Vintage' that I bought for a pattern, but forgot which. I normally wouldn't have picked those colors together but wanted to use up the yarn and it actually turned out pretty nice. It took some getting used to the large hook, but all together was a nice speedy project.
