I started this afghan last night and it is SO much fun! I've got 14 rows so far and am using the suggested colors, which remind me of lattes! Thank you for sharing! LOVE it!

This is a very very pretty blanket. The picture above just does not even capture how truly nice is it, but it caught my eye and decided to try it. I love the texture created by the "bobble's" of the picot stiches and the versatility of it being reversible to create different looks. It cost me about $38.00 for the yarn at Walmart. Thanks Christie for clarifying the instructions, especially working from right to left.

Hi Ladies, Hope I can offer some clarity here for you. To sjdik - in this pattern where is says with A (or with B or C) they are refurring to the colors listed in the materials list. In this case A is Coffee, B is Aran and C is Cafe. To Lois - you start this afghan by chaining 204 with color A, then proceed to work the foundation row (probably the only time you will "turn" the work. The rest of the afghan is worked right to left, always attaching the next color at the right, working across and fastening off at the left. If you're left handed, work left to right. Hope this helps. Happy stitching! :)

What do you mean? This pattern, Coffee and Cream Afgan, for example, says "with A, ch (chain) 204."

None of your patterns tell how many chain stitches to make before you start to make whatever you are trying to make
