This bullseye afghan pattern looks amazing. There are so many different colors you can use to make this beautiful piece. What are some colors you would use together? These colors are so elegant together, I would definitely stick with them! Using an M hook and super bulky weight yarn, this afghan is sure to work up rather quickly.

The color possibilities are limitless with this super cool bull's eye design crochet throw! That cheetah yarn is such a great looking yarn that looks speckled or like a tweed. Even though it's a ruby color, the finished throw can almost qualify (in most cases) as a decor neutral piece. What would be even more fun than fringe is buying a roll of that premade mini pompom from the fabric store and sew it all around. If you have the time and don't mind the extra effort!
