Pattern: Warm Wishes Afghan from Vanna's Favorite Gift Afghans
Yarn: Vanna's Choice in Beige & Toffee, ILTY in Toasted Almond
Hook: Size K
Pattern Changes: I added a row of sc along each side. Pattern just had it left plain which looked unfinished to me. I chained 123 to begin. Measures 35" x 50". I also used a bigger hook and my own colors. The pattern colors were two shades of blue with ecru.
Satisfaction Level: Very happy! This was a super-simple pattern, but the color changes made it more difficult. You definitely need to sew in your ends as you go or in chunks. I stopped to sew mine in every 30 rows or so.

Love this blanket... The color combination, the design... Everything.,I think I'll have to make me also :) beautiful!
It's gorgeous, Pammy Sue. :o)
This one is a stunner. You know....it could actually make me find a hook. Not pick it up yet, as I have to shovel to leave for jazz. But actually find it, which is half the battle here as all that stuff has been put away. This is a great one. I have to look to see if you put the link in a post.....
Gorgeous Pammy Sue. I've always admired that pattern when I look through that book. I really like the shades of brown, very subtle and elegant. Happy Friday! Heather
Wow this turn out gorgeous Pammy Sue.
Love the color combo you chose. I have the same book and have made a couple of her patterns. Haven't tried this one yet. Might just have to give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration. I see your puppy standing next to the new blanket I can just hear her saying oh mommy made a new one just for me...lol
I'm not usually a fan of browns but this is just gorgeous, Pam. Love it!!!!!!!
What a pretty afghan! The colors work very well together.
Blessings,
Betsy
Simply beautiful! The colors are relaxing and this afghan would be great for a comfy nap! Great job!
I love this! Pattern and colors are amazing! Beautiful afghan.
I always crochet over my ends as I go. I have no patience for sewing in ends afterward!! NONE!...Good Job, Pammy Sue! :-)
You have done it again, great job. My your mojo is back with a vengeance.
Hugs,
Meredith
Hola Pammy adoro este trabajo que bellos colores y el punto se ve muy sencillo que hermosa combinación me encanto besitos.
Gorgeous blanket! Well done!
Wow you're fast! There must have been smoke coming out the back of your hook! This is a great pattern. The colors remind me of a cafe latte or rocky road ice cream (I'm craving like a b*#ch right now, can you tell?)
Anyway love your blanket, must check out the book. Vanna is a rock star.
Beautiful. Great job on this one. :)
