Afghan is crocheted in green yarn; team names are cross-stitched on afterwards. (Teams are, of course, the NFL of 1987; pattern needs tweaking to reflect the NFL of 2009.)

Pattern calls for 36 oz. emerald green yarn, 4 oz. white yarn, and 1 oz. each of numerous colors for embroidering the team names. (Yardage is estimated.)
