Blue Denim Cotton Afghan...

Here is an afghan that I started 2 years ago for the eldest son of my sister, right after finishing one for a new brother to be, and finished for my nephew while I was up in Montana recently... 

 

It is made from Lily Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn in blue denim and off white.  I chose cotton yarn as my sister is allergic/sensitive to many synthetic fibers and this makes it comfortable for her to use and snuggle with her boys while they are wrapped up in them.

I used nearly all of 3 ~ 14 gram cones of yarn for this afghan.  It is done in the giant granny pattern that I enjoy, as are most of my afghans.  I vary the pattern of the color rows to achieve different effects, and the final edging, but not the stitch pattern itself.  It's a pattern that I can work without looking at and still enjoy scenery on a drive or read while I am working it.  I hope that it will be something my nephew will treasure, enjoy, and use...
