Josh went off to Kansas State University in August and I decided it was time to make him a new afghan. Since he is just over 6' tall, and he has a habit of wrapping himself in his blankets, I knew it needed to be a long one. If you know much about afghan patterns, you know it is hard to find one that is bigger than a twin size bed. So, I found a pattern I liked and adjusted it. This is a basketweave pattern that is really pretty. For his afghan I actually used Lion Brand Pound of Love in white and Red Heart Super Saver in Amethyst. I think the afghan measured about 54" wide and 80" long. Hopefully he stays at K-State! :) Here is a link to the pattern that I used. Remember, I adjusted it so that is ended up being wider and longer.
