The Foursquare Afghan is a cozy blanket to snuggle up under while reading your favorite book at home. Its modern design was inspired by both quilts and a favorite childhood game. The warm tones of our soft, easy-care Deluxe Worsted Superwash make this afghan even more welcoming. Each square is knit individually, making it a perfect portable project!
