Did you ever play with Lincoln Logs as a kid? I always loved tinkering with the small wooden logs creating tiny houses for my toys to live in. Just because I may have outgrown my childhood toy, doesn’t mean I can’t continue celebrating it in adulthood! Log cabin afghans are just like Lincoln Logs, only in yarn. Small “log” sections layer together to create a funky square. Switching off the colors creates even more depth and contrast. I just love the unique and fun texture it has once it’s completed. Check out some other log cabin afghans below!
