Vintage Handmade Crocheted Granny Square Afghan Throw Blanket in Peach and White
Description
This handmade crocheted afghan is constructed in a traditional granny square motif. The blanket features a grid pattern composed of individual square units, each featuring a solid peach-colored center worked in a dense crochet stitch, surrounded by a white border. The squares are joined together with white crochet stitching, which creates a lattice effect across the surface of the textile. At each intersection where four squares meet, a decorative peach-colored yarn tuft or small tassel is attached. The entire blanket is finished with a white scalloped or shell-stitch border. The item is made from a medium-weight synthetic yarn, likely acrylic, characteristic of American domestic hand-crafts from the mid-to-late 20th century. There are no maker marks, manufacturer labels, signatures, or country-of-origin tags visible on the piece.
Condition report:
The afghan is in good vintage condition. The structural integrity of the crochet work is sound, with no visible dropped stitches, holes, or unraveled edges observed in the photographs. No significant staining or discoloration is apparent.
