Love the colors used in this Basketweave afghan. I like the very subdued hues of gray, mocha, and cream yarns used. Soooo Beautiful!

Why is it that the directions don't seem to match the picture? The yarn requirements mention 4 colors but I only see 3 in the picture. Also just glancing through the instructions I don't see how they will give the color square pattern (although I could be wrong since I was just reading through them and not actually crocheting). Thoughts?

The cable is color D its in the instructions.. shouldn't leave a bad review without reading things clearly.
