This simple yet elegant afghan is as nice to crochet as it is to wrap up in.

GAUGE:

Each piece measures 7 inches x 9 inches (18 x 23 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.

Warm Up America Afghan Reviewed by beth belflower on 2013-03-07 *****
I had to buy one more skein of each of colors. My peices were 7 x 9 but simply ran out of yarn. Just an FYI when ordering.
