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 less 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.

Beautiful Reviewed by Dina Kerley on 2008-05-02
Such a beautiful combination of colors and the yarn is softer than your average acrylic. This is a good beginner's afghan and for more experienced crocheters, it's a fairly fast project.
