It is not often I see a crochet afghan project that takes my breath away but this is one of them. The colors that are used really are beautiful together and rightly named pumpkin spice. The up close picture gives you a better view of the texture to the crochet design as well. If I am not mistaken, this pattern is also in the shape of a hexagon.

Unlike a lot of people, I actually look forward to Pumpkin Spice season. The glorious colors of this throw remind me of pumpkin pie with a gingerbread crust and topped with whipped cream. Since this is originally a Red Heart Yarn project, the pattern can be found under the name Autumn Throw (LW3308) and can be downloaded as a .pdf http//www.redheart.com/free-patterns/autumn-throw- == 0

I'm new to crochet and would love to make this as a Christmas gift. In the instructions after line 51, it says "Line 3" with different instructions. Is this a pattern correction?

Very pretty. I'm a beginner. Looks kind of hard to do. How about "Round about Autumn Time" for the name. Weegie

When I saw it, right away it reminded me of the Cosmos (definition: the universe seen as a well-ordered whole).

I think this afghan should be named "Kaleidoscope". That's what it reminds me of. I love the patterns from the round afghans and it's beautiful !!

I would name it 'Lazey Maizey' (on a Lazy day cuddle up in the blanket [reason for the Lazey] Maizey because it looks like a Indian Corn [Maize] and walking thru a never ending Indian Corn Maze too! It is stunning!

Autumn in the Round, or Fall around I believe would be a good name for that afghan. It is beautiful.

I would call it Changing Leaves, because it has all the colors the leaves show as they change in the fall.
