Cooper's Blanket

I made this afghan for my coworkers son, Cooper is 3.  I had made him a more baby looking blanket, but when Aly showed me a picture of his room - which was very manly - we traded in his baby blanket for this man blanket.  Improvised a pattern from a pillow design that I have saved and coveted for many years, but had never made.  It worked pretty well.
