The horizontal patterns of stitches in this afghan are reminiscent of patterns in an alpine sweater. The colors that I used are Coffee & Warm Brown on a background of Aran. The afghan is bordered with a 'single crochet' row of Coffee and then a 'double crochet' row of Aran. Made with Red Heart Acryllic Worsted, this afghan should be machine washed and dried. Approximate dimensions are: W 48" X L 59" .
