From Debbie Abrahams Pattern Description The colorful sweets and treats found in your local candy store were the inspiration for this afghan. At first glance, this design appears to be quite complex and busy. However, a closer examination will reveal that the whole design comprises of just five different squares knitted in cables and simple stripe patterns, with buttons sewn on for extra decoration. This afghan would be a welcome addition to any child’s bedroom or play area, adding a cheery splash of color.
