Here’s a picture of an afghan I crocheted for my friend, Sandie. 
The pattern is available at Red Heart.com #LW3578. Since Sandie loves pink, I chose to make it in Soft White, Baby Pink, Pretty ‘n pink, Perfect Pink, and Shocking Pink.
It would have been a lot easier to make if I’d remembered that an octagon = 8 sides instead of trying to force the pattern to come out with six sides. Once I realized where I was going wrong, the rest was fairly easy.
It has a lot of white and baby pink and I think if I chose to do another, I’d use a color other than white for the main body, maybe a mid-shade of pink so that the contrasting colors would be more obvious. Anyway, Sandie likes it and I had the fun of making it and that’s all that’s important.
Have several other projects in progress so more pictures will be coming soon.
