Nolan's Lap Sized Swedish Weaving Afghan




This is a lap-sized afghan I just finished for my greatgrandson, Nolan.  A full sized one would have been much too big for him.  The photos show the afghan folded in half...the pattern runs up and down instead of sideways.  

I used ecru fabric with the pattern done in dark blue, medium turquoise, and yellow yarns.  I had to improvise the little sailboat pattern because of limited space but found it wasn't too hard to do.  I'd first planned to make a fold over seam on the sides but, again because of limited space, decided to just leave a very short fringe.  

This was a fun project that didn't take too much time to complete because it was only half the usual work.
