A beautiful crochet afghan, which can be done in one, two or even more colors, this pattern with alternate squares creates the impression of a chess board. The texture seems quite dense and more colors tend to create more playfulness. This attractive Baby Blue Afghan by Esther Leavitt is an easy repeat pattern that produces a beautifully textured blanket. This very beautiful blanket is an intermediate skill level.

I started this last week but had to rip it out to start again, somehow I lost a stitch AND my “lines” were all diagonal 🙁 Any hints anyone?
This looks lovely!!!!
I made this blanket for a friend and it is very lovely!
