Mayfield Afghan
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®
GAUGE:
8 sts + 13 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Lace Pattern. 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.

Mayfield Afghan Reviewed by sharon kemp on 2012-02-23
I made this as a gift for a friend who's been laid up with a broken arm - it was a quick and very enjoyable knit, and I was so impressed with the yarn (colour is Oatmeal). I think this very snuggly throw will offer her some comfort. This is one I will definitely make again.
