The blankets for autumn are meant to be colorful, the same as this few months just before winter are. They are inspired by the nature preparing for the next season.
The leafs are changing colors from green, through yellow, red, orange to brown, just to lie softly on the ground finally. Everywhere around it’s all covered with that beautiful carpet of many shades of the fall. This is exactly what we we will find on the autumnal Afgans – a mixture of colors and decorations that will bring to mind a calm walk in a park during the fall. Take a look at examples below to check the current trends and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
