A solid-colored afghan with cross-stitched lotus design on the borders.

Gauge: 17 stitches = 5 inches and 23 rows = 6 inches in pattern stitch.

Pattern calls for 240-yard balls of yarn: 12 balls main color, and 1 ball each colors A, B, and C. (A, B, and C are only used for embroidery, so full balls are probably not necessary.)
