Afghans

There is nothing better than snuggling in to read, watch a movie, maybe just take a nap with your favorite afghan. For all of you youngsters an afghan is just a fancy word for a knitted or crocheted wrap. They come in all shapes and sizes, made for young and old, and are one of the easiest things to make. Afghans are often given as gifts and may become family heirlooms. Many people use an afghan as a throw on a chilly day, as a bedspread, or as decoration for the back of a chair. 

Join as you go afghans are made up of many different pieces, one piece begins where the last was left.

Mile-a-minute afghans are usually made in one piece and with a minimum of stitches; they are the simplest style to make and are especially popular with beginners.

Motif afghans, such as the granny square, are composed of many different small pieces, called motifs, squares, or blocks. These motifs may be all of the same design or of different designs, but they are typically the same size, for ease of joining.

I've started making Lazy-Boy-Afghans, super warm, fluffy and extremely comfortable.  Great for cuddling up with a good book or stretching out in in your Lazy-Boy for game night.
    



                                                




The afghan is 50" x 80" with a crocheted border and no fringe. Long enough to pull up to your chin and cover your feet too. I made one for my husband and they are available now, custom order! Click here to order one. Plenty of time before Christmas to order more than one for the men (or girls) in your family. Customize colors to match your favorite teams!

An afghan is not only great for the cold weather but a fabulous home accent as well, so may you find comfort in your afghans!
