I think I could work a simple double crochet with 2 or 3 strands of yarn and have a full sized afghan in a weekend. But, I believe I can crochet a diagonal crazy stitch in less time. If you like mile a minute patterns, this might be for you. It is – although I’d probably choose other colors. I’m not saying this afghan is not attractive. I can think of several different patterns that I could work up in far less time than I’d ever get this one made. In this case, it’s TWELVE things that are just the same. Not only must I crochet 2 things that are just alike, I have to crochet even more. Okay, I’m not a fan of mile a minute patterns. On All Free Crochet, they call this the World’s Fastest Crochet Afghan! Really? I don’t think so.
