Four and a half Hour Afghan
Lion Brand® Homespun®
GAUGE: 4 Sts and 3 rows = 3 in with yarn doubled in pat st 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.

| I can't say enough about this pattern: for ease, speed, beauty, and warmth, it can't be beat! And you can use any two colors you like (I used Rococo and Quartz instead of the given colors, to match my 90-year-old mother's decor. The texture and yummy yarn make this pattern versatile enough to suit a wide range of people. In fact, when my college-age nephew watched me finishing up his grandmother's afghan on Christmas Eve,he said he wouldn't mind having one for his dorm!
