“This exuberant fantasy of violets and butterfly wings is crocheted in one piece with the afghan stitch. The design is worked from a chart in four shades of soft green, two shades of blue, a touch of yellow. Knotted fringe trims both ends of the afghan. For those who have never done afghan stitch, directions include stitch details.” - Intro in the 1976 edition of The McCall’s Book of Afghans.
