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.

Four and a half Hour Afghan Reviewed by Keri on 2009-06-05 ****
This was my 4th crochet project ever!
I found this afghan stitched up very easy, its a little smaller then I thought it would be, but I am tight with my stiches, will need to add extra it to make it larger.
I did saffron and olive, and it looks lovely.

Took about a week to complete, a bit more then 4.5 hours, but for my first time it is quite quick.

The only true negative I found was the cost of the yarn.
