Not your grandma’s afghan! This funky striped geometric throw, worked in simple mosaic colourwork, is a modern twist on the classic granny blanket. Use two contrasting colours throughout, or combine all your leftover yarns and use a different colour for each section. The possibilities are truly endless!
