This is a pattern for a generously sized baby/toddler afghan using various stitches and six colors of worsted weight yarn. These are the colors and amounts I used for the example in the pattern: A (yellow)- 3.5 oz; B (orange)- 3 oz; C (aqua/turquoise)- 3.5 oz; D (bright green)- 3 oz; E (white)- 4.1 oz; F (light gray)- 4.5 oz. The last three photos are an example of another possible color combination, but of course, you can use any colors you choose. Most of the yarn I used was Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn. Most of the stitches I would rate as easy or beginner. I would rate the pattern overall as advanced beginner to intermediate. The finished size is about 36” x 44”. I crochet on the loose side, so if you crochet tightly, you can go up a hook size for a similar size afghan.

This pattern has not been tested other than by me. There may be some corrections needed, but as long as you keep the stitch count correct for each row, you should be fine.
