GAUGE:
3 V-sts + 4 rows = 6 in. (15 cm) in pattern with 1 strand each of A, B and C 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.

5 1/2 Hour Throw Reviewed by Lynn Burr on 2011-03-31
Although it took longer than 5 1/2 hours, this afghan was easy and fun to work. It turned out beautifully and the fringe gives it a real richness. I made the first one in rose, off white and linen for a gift. I can't wait to make one for myself.
