Scrappy Lap-ghan



This generously sized lap-blanket is crocheted with a large hook and two strands of yarn held together. It's a fast and easy way to use up leftover yarn, and the big stitches make it thick and cuddly.

Skill Level   Easy

Yarn
approx. 1850 yds / 1692m worsted weight acrylic, wool, or blend in many colors

Schematic diagram included.

A free .pdf of this pattern is available as a download from Ravelry.

WIP: A Stashbusting Lap-ghan



I have started the prototype for another lap-ghan pattern.  This one is made with leftover balls of yarn from various projects and our local thrift store.  The stitches are so big, that the pattern repeat is huge, and it's hard to get the width of the 'ghan right... either too wide or not wide enough.  What you see above is wider than I'd like, almost 4 feet, but it might be acceptable when it's finished.

UPDATE:  The free pattern is up now: Scrappy Lap-ghan.
