I love the look of this afghan! The color combination is perfect with the blues and pinks together. If you are not as fond of these colors together, you can pick any of your favorite colors to combine. There are so many colors available, you can pick any you would like to go with whatever room you are making it for. What is your favorite color combination?

The colors of this Pretty Picnic Throw are so GORGEOUS that I cannot help but make it, lol! Who would not want such beautiful throw in their home, never mind at a picnic. It is going to look just great in our family room and I already know exactly which one of my friends is also going to want one so I may as well get enough yarn to make two.

What a great pattern for someone who is ready to work from a chart and do the color changes at the same time. After the first few rows it will fall into a routine and you will be finished in no time The colors are beautiful also.
