Resplendent Afghan

Resplendent Afghan presents an update of the classic granny square, using a similar easy and rhythmic technique, while adding visual and textural interest with post stitches. The charcoal borders soften the often-seen black borders of a traditional granny blanket, but like your favorite granny, this is a pattern that presents endless possibilities for color variation and is suitable for all types of yarn.
