For an afghan that has a unique look and feel, try the Striped Cotton Candy Afghan. It is worked from side to side instead of top to bottom, so the stitches have a nifty texture to them. By using such bright colors, you also get a fun accent piece that can brighten up any room. Show off your fun side by working up this crochet afghan pattern that will be unlike any other one you may already have. Vary the width of the stripes for the effect of an optical illusion!
