afghans

Cozy lap covers

Afghans are soft knitted or crocheted blankets, typically made of wool or acrylic yarn in colorful patterns.

They're draped over sofas or beds for warmth and decoration: She curled up under an afghan to watch television.

The term likely comes from the traditional textiles of Afghanistan.

Afghan is also a breed of tall, slender sighthound with long, silky hair. (Capitalized Afghans refers to people from Afghanistan.)
