Measuring approximately 70\" × 54\" excluding the fringe, this substantial afghan has the scale and visual presence to transform a sofa, chair or bed into a distinctly retro focal point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than the familiar granny-square or chevron construction seen in many vintage crochet blankets, this example is worked in long repeating geometric bands. Raised and dimensional crochet details articulate the yellow, red and mustard sections, while narrow black accents punctuate the pattern and a broad black border provides a dramatic frame. Multicolored fringe along the ends completes the handmade design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFringe extends beyond the stated 70\" measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is a handmade textile, minor variations in dimensions and construction are natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaker:  Handmade\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe individual maker is unknown.
