Crochet Fringed Throw
Lion Brand® Homespun®
GAUGE:
10 sts = 4" [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.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
LOOP STITCH Step 1 Using the index finger on the left hand to control the lp size (which should be approximately 1½"), hold yarn over finger 1½" behind work; insert the hook in st, hook both strands of lp just made, draw these strands through st.
Step 2 Wrap the supply yarn over the hook (yo).
Step 3 Draw through all lps on hook-1 lp st made.
NOTES:
Loop Stitch (lp st) is a variation of single crochet (sc) and is
worked on the wrong-side rows because the lps form at the back of
the fabric.
Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends,
knit or
crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.

I also have made 3 of these and it is a really pretty afghan! It didn't seem hard to make at all. As the one person said, "once you get the hang of it".
Step 1 Using the index finger on the left hand to control the lp size (which should be approximately 1½"), hold yarn over finger 1½" behind work; insert the hook in st, hook both strands of lp just made, draw these strands through st.
