| There are mistakes in this pattern. However it is a Gorgeous afghan! I am an experienced crocheter and let me tell you I had the worst time making this from the directions. Finally I realized that there are a couple of mistakes in the pattern directions, so I made it work on my own. Also, I had to do the center of the afghan with a smaller hook than stated. I used p and n hooks for this afghan. It is gorgeous and I'm so glad I was persistent. Until they fix the pattern I wouldn't recommend trying this unless you are very experienced.
