Techniques:
Basic stitches comprising mainly of Single Crochet.
Colorwork.
Surface Slip Stitch
Extended Double Treble.

The main body of the afghan is worked in the round.

I would classify this project as intermediate level. The stitches are basic, but a good understanding of colourwork would be an advantage. The challenge with this Afghan is working from multiple bobbins (96 in the final colour round) at once and in the round.
