Crochet Afghan Sizes

One of my favorite crochet items to make is an afghan.  Afghans allow for so much creativity, use of color, design and so forth.  I often find myself having to search for the suggested guidelines and sizes for afghans.  So, to save myself some time, I pulled together a quick reference list of afghan sizes from kid's sizes to adult sizes.

Please note that these sizes are pulled from the The Crochet Crowd website (a very valuable source for patterns, information, etc).
