If those pesky train-like lines in afghans drive you crazy, the Simple Texture Afghan may be the afghan of your dreams. I believe it uses the stitching technique called the Crinkle Stitch. It's alternating two stitches to prevent the typical look of an afghan. It's easy to follow—so easy that it will take you a couple of minutes to master, and you will be your own expert.
This is the Simple Texture Crochet Blanket.

The original pattern calls for 12 Skeins of Caron United Yarn. In the video I used Bernat Super Value Yarn, if you are substituting for Super Value for this exact pattern, you will only need 7 balls.

When I click on the link to print the pattern, I get the arrow stitch blanket, not this texture blanket.

It appears to be removed from Yarnspirations. It's just the crinkle stitch. 1 sc, 1 dc... and etc. Tutorial shows that as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4OZbxW6yrg

What do 12 skeins come out to size measurements? Where is the free pattern? The video is fine but feeling frustrated as i would like to do well on this project. Yes it's easy, i am on the 5th redheart ball in one week, thanks for teaching!
