Basically Striped Afghan

Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®

GAUGE:

11 sc = 4 in. (10 cm). 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.

Basically Striped Afghan Reviewed by wanda on 2009-09-25 ****
I made this one in a two week time frame (busy mom syndrome) It was easy and came out really nice. I did change the color selection.
