Color and Texture Afghan
by Jo Sharp
Pattern description from Handknit Holidays: “This warm, soft afghan might lure you to settle your head for ‘a long winter’s nap,’ as the poem goes. It works up quickly with large needles in simple garter stitch, making it a great gift that even a beginning knitter can handle.”

- Jo Sharp Rare Comfort Infusion Kid Mohair (80% kid mohair / 15% polyamid / 5% wool; 95 yards / 25 grams): 3 balls #613 chamomile (B), and 3 balls #606 swamp (C)
Needles:
- One 32” circular (circ) needle size US 9 (5.5 mm)
