Description

This spectacular vintage crochet afghan is a true time capsule from the 1970s, handcrafted by Ann M. Cissell as confirmed by the original sewn-in maker's label reading 'Crocheted For You By Ann M. Cissell.' The blanket is composed of individually worked concentric square granny-style blocks joined together in a large grid layout, showcasing a perfectly era-appropriate color palette of burnt orange, cream, chocolate brown, dark purple-brown, and tan. Each block features bold, graphic rings of color radiating outward from a solid center, creating that unmistakable retro optical effect that interior designers are scrambling to bring back. The blanket appears in excellent vintage condition with tight, even stitchwork throughout, demonstrating the skilled hands of an accomplished crafter who clearly took immense pride in her work.
