3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next dc, then make a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next dc; repeat from * across the row. End with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Rows 3-10: Repeat Row 2 for a total of 8 rows. This will create the textured ribbed appearance of your afghan.
5. Row 11: Change your yarn to Carrot. Chain 3, then dc in each stitch across the row. Turn your work.
6. Rows 12-20: Repeat Row 2 for 9 more rows to continue the texture pattern.
7. Row 21: Change your yarn to Cafe Latte. Chain 3, then dc in each stitch across the row. Turn your work.

11. Finishing: Fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends with a yarn needle to keep your work tidy.
12. Border: With Pumpkin yarn, join your yarn in any corner of the afghan. Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire afghan. In each corner, work 3 sc to create a rounded edge. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.
