Crochet Afghans in TV Shows

Mad Man Afghan

Have you noticed how much TV shows’ interior designers love to throw in a crochet blanket or an afghan on the sofa in the show’s living room?

I must admit I love that they do. And I am always on the lookout for such scenes not only in shows, but movies as well. I sometimes pause scenes as to have a better look at the stitch or pattern, lol! I love that such crochet or knit pieces instantly give more coziness and warmth to the whole set. You immediately get the desire to curl up under one and just drift away!

Another thing that is interesting is that most of the times it is a granny square blanket. Some of the colorwork used in these is truly inspiring.

Sadly, my living room is void of such gorgeousness. Hubs loves to take naps in the living room, which honestly drives me mad, but still I would love to make a granny blanket for his naps. As a project, it has been on my bucket list for almost an eternity. We have a woolen blanket with a Native-American print, which would be more suitable for a pioneer cabin or a cottage in the mountains rather than our living room, but we love it dearly.

Do you have crocheted blankets in your living room? Are you a fan of such blankets?
