From Debbie Abrahams pattern description The theme for this easy-to-knit afghan is comfort and warmth, which is achieved through the combination of a soft, chunky yarn with oversized textured stitches. Cables, bobbles and seed stitch patterns make up the basic squares for this design. The theme of comfort and warmth is further enhanced by the choice of colors -- orange and red tweed. The squares are quick and easy-to-knit with the chunky yarn making this a good project for a beginner.
