What does AFGHAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A soft woollen blanket or throw made by knitting or crocheting coloured strips or squares together.
An afghan is the sort of cover that lives over the back of a sofa or the foot of a bed, and it is often assembled from many small patterned pieces joined into one. Because it is made by hand, an afghan is a common gift and a classic project for beginners in knitting and crochet. The word also names a tall, long-haired hunting hound, and the lowercase form is the one used for the blanket.
