I love this slip stitch sampler but I only crochet, are there any directions for crochet?

I can't wait to start the Slip Stitch Sampler afghan! I love love the warm mix of colors.

I made the Bright Stripes Baby afghan in white and three shades of blue for a newborn baby boy. It was easy and fast to make and was loved by all. It turned out so eye catching and I was pleased to say that I had made it.
