Iron Drab

Crochet Corner to Corner Graphghan based on the Kingkiller Chronicle Trilogy.  Week 5 - Iron Drab

Welcome back to week 5 of the Kingkiller inspired Graphghan.  This week we calm things back down from last week with some Cealdish Currency!  Introducing the Iron Drab!  This one was one of the first ones I drew up.  I desperately wanted currency to be in my blanket!
