Easy blanket/afghan pattern. Worked mostly in double crochet stitches. Simple to adjust length and width. Gauge is not important.

15 stripes, 100 rows made up with an I hook will cover the surface of a queen size bed.

Materials needed:
4 pounds yarn (I prefer Pound of Love by Lion Brand)
J or I hook
Stitch markers (they come in handy for tracking rows)
Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)

I usually use 4 1-pound skeins, you can use multiple colors if desired.
