This “Pure Classic” pattern was given to me by a neighbor and is an excellent  afghan for beginners, having repetition of 8 rows in single crochet followed by 4 rows in double crochet with a total of 15 strips or as many as desired. I used 3 skeins of one pound yarn (48 oz), using size J aluminum crochet hook, finished size before fringe 42” x 60”. This afghan would be beautiful alternating several different colors, although I chose to use only two colors - Off White & Sky Blue.
