Shaded Stripes Afghan Crochet Pattern, C-243

Shaded Stripes : This pattern contains directions to crochet the afghan pictured. This piece, just a bit different than the typical striped afghan, has subtle shading going on by the blending of three colors in the pattern stitch. This crochet pattern is made in one piece (not blocks or strips), with an edging applied all the way around. The finished afghan will measure 40 x 60 inches when completed
