This rustic afghan is composed of textured diamonds featuring bobbles, a lovely leaf pattern, and realistic woodland creatures. The woodland creatures include a pheasant, a reindeer, a bunny, a blue jay, a squirrel, and a pine tree. These designs are incorporated into the afghan by duplicate stitch embroidery after the plain diamond sections have been knitted.
