GAUGE:

16 sts + 20 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch (k on RS, p on WS). 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.

Downloadable Pattern: Flower Power Afghan Reviewed by Amy Omens on 2009-11-20
Unless you are familiar with the fair isle technique, I would not recommend this pattern. I bought the yarn for it and it is a very difficult pattern so I don't know that I will every complete it.
