X Stitch Afghan Pattern

It has been a while since I have gone through some of my old patterns.  I was asked if Allfreecrochet.com could publish one of my patterns in an Ebook they are working on.  I figured I had better look at it again before they used it and I'm glad I did!

 The pattern has been updated and makes better sense than it had.  I made a new afghan and was able to get a better photo :)

    Great website. Love the sharing of projects and information. I haven't crocheted in decades and I'd really like to try this one. For me, more information would be helpful. I like the difference in width of each color and would like to know how many rows of each color are needed to achieve this design. To accomplish this, I would also need to know how much of each color of yarn is required. Thank you!

    Hi Sandi, I have made a lot of afghans with this stitch and the quantity of yarn will be based o the size you want. For an infant size, I used 18 oz of Caron Simply Soft yarn (3 skeins)
    The Yellow and blue afghan is worked in 3 rows of color then 2 rows of white to separate.

    Do you have instructions for the edging you did? I'm almost done with the body in a soft green and white and would love to replicate the edging as well!
