Sweet motifs in eye-catching colors make this afghan a crown jewel. Sharon Valiant’s blending of a simple stitch pattern, two strands of yarn, and whip-stitch assembly guarantee that this handmade treasure will be as quick to complete as it is pleasing to behold. The “Spice-Toned Treasure” first appeared in the Winter ‘99/’00 issue of Family Circle Easy Knitting.
