Garden Posy Granny Afghan

The temperature in the spring can be all over the place. The transitional seasons - spring and fall - are perfect for lightweight, full-size afghans. They can provide just the right amount of warmth without making you feel like you’re in a sauna.

The Garden Posy Afghan takes the traditional granny square and adds a little alteration to look just like a simple ‘posy’ plucked from your garden. The generous size means you’re covered head to toe. While the temperatures are still too cool for spring planting, you can enjoy a little of your beautiful garden while you relax under the Garden Posy Granny Afghan.
