A large vintage handmade crocheted blanket, often referred to as an afghan or throw, worked in a continuous centre-out square construction. The design features concentric bands of varying widths in a multi-colour palette. The pattern begins with a central black diamond followed by bands of cream, pink, and dark brown. A wide band of vibrant red separates the inner square from the outer sections, which consist of orange and two shades of green. Decorative black bands interspersed throughout feature small red and yellow pop or bobble stitches. The piece is finished with a simple crocheted border. The material appears to be a mixed-fibre yarn, likely an acrylic or wool blend typical of late 20th-century home crafts.
Dimensions: Not provided.
