A simple afghan pattern comes to life with vibrant colors.

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.

I am making this afghan right now. It is just beautiful. The colors (I used Vanna's Choice yarn) go well together and has a very warm yet contemporary look plus there are enough color switches to avoid boredom. I will make this afghan again. If you like contemporary but warm looking afghans, this is the one to make.
