This is an interesting and stunning holiday afghan! At a distance it almost looks to be a woven plaid! I love the bright green and red it's presented in, but you could also do it in burgundy and forest green as well. I've never done a front post triple treble crochet stitch but it looks easy enough. I'll be glad to add it to my stitch repertoire. Thanks for the free pattern!

This seems to be the perfect afghan for the season for me because the mix of red and greens are balanced. When you look at the afghan from afar, you can see all colors in a balanced way. Thanks for having the pattern in front for easy access.
