An afghan that can also be used as a floor game! This knitted afghan is a large scale version of the traditional board game. It has knitted playing pieces.

Backgammon is not inherently mathematical but is a game of strategy which helps to develop logical thinking, planning and reasoning.

KNITTING INFORMATION

The afghan in the photo was made with Aran weight yarn. Using a different yarn would change the overall size.

It would be very difficult to modify the instructions to change the size, other than by adding a wider, or narrower border.
