This designer lets the color do the talking in this contemporary throw. Her afghan, worked in single crochet, makes an ideal canvas for playing with color and tone. The pattern is easy, but regular color changes keep things interesting as you crochet-you'll find yourself repeating, "Just one more row!" again and again.
