This seafaring blanket would be perfect for a young boy’s room. Sail Away is crocheted in one piece using the Star stitch. There are no seams and only a few ends to weave in. Working over colors not in use creates a reversible fabric. The navy border is added after the body of the afghan is completed. For a lighter weight blanket, use DK or sport yarn.

Distinguished from the Sail Ahoy blanket by each boat having two sails.
