I love the bright pop of purple in the spring that comes with the blooming of the Eastern Redbud trees in the midwestern US. These trees also have lovely heart-shaped leaves which were the inspiration for this afghan. It is framed with a simple garter stitch border in a contrasting color. Knit here in a soft, squishy nylon & acrylic blend yarn that is easy to care for and comes in a wide variety of colors, it is perfect for a gift for a loved one!
