Answer
When I'm looking for anything on the Internet, I start with Google.com .  I put "textured stripes afghan" in the search, and came up with a very short list.  
#1)There's an afghan with that name in Annie's Crochet Newsletter, number 82, from July/August 1996.  Someone has the issue available on eBay.
#2) Another afghan pattern is available on eBay, it has the same name, but the 2 afghans are definitely different.
#3) There is an afghan with that name in the Coats & Clark booklet "Afghan Favorites" #J17-0756.  Go to:
http://www.coatsandclark.com/Products/Publications/AfghansAndThrows/Afghan+Favor...
#4)  There is a knitted afghan called textured stripes afghan in a book title "Gooseberry Patch Oh-So-Easy Knits".
I did not locate a free pattern on the Internet for a crochet pattern called Textured Stripes Afghan.
