Textured Treasure Speed Stix Afghan
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®
GAUGE:
3½ stitches + 5½ rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in pattern stitch with 2 strands of yarn held together. 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.
NOTES:
Due to the nature of the fabric when working with Speed Stix, gauge may vary throughout the knitting and is not crucial to this project.

I used (wine?) for my color and added a strand of black fun fur. I loved this pattern. It isn't as wide as I had hoped, but the texture is really pretty.
