An Afghan is a blanket, wrap, or shawl of colored wool, knitted or crocheted in geometric shapes.

In terms of etymology, it's likely that the wraps or shawls that came to be called afghans were originally patterned after textiles from the Afghanistan region. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, afghan "wrap, shawl" dates from 1833.
