The temperature in the spring can be all over the place. One day it can be almost shorts weather with the windows thrown open. And, the very next day, we can be bundling up like it’s winter again. The transitional seasons - spring and fall - are perfect for lightweight, full-size afghans. They can provide just the right amount of warmth without making you feel like you’re in a sauna.

The Garden Posy Afghan takes the traditional granny square and adds a little alteration to look just like a simple ‘posy’ plucked from your garden. The generous size means you’re covered head to toe. While the temperatures are still too cool for spring planting, you can enjoy a little of your beautiful garden while you relax under the Garden Posy Granny Afghan.
