Artisan Afghans

April 10, 2014 by AllFreeKnitting

Artisan Afghans

Everyone knows the pleasures inherent in cuddling up in a warm blanket–a feeling only enhanced when that blanket is a hand knit afghan.  I know that one of my favorite blankets to use on a chilly night is one that I knitted myself.  Afghans have such strong associations with snuggling up that it is easy to forget they can serve another function: home decor.  Draping an afghan over the back of your couch is an easy way to unify the look and feel of a room.  The functional side of afghans only adds to their quality as a decorative element.   These afghan patterns will charm you with their rustic aesthetic; you’ll be able to impress everyone who stops by your house with one of these attractive afghans.

Knitting an afghan can be a quite relaxing activity.  Pick the right pattern, one with a nice bulky yarn, for example, and you’ll be part way through the project before you know it.  Even half-finished afghans can add a certain ambiance to a room, especially if you keep your blanket stored in a handy basket next to your couch.  These afghans will add a special touch to your home, no matter where you are in the knitting process.
