Super Easy Lap Blanket

This is the first time I ever winged a project without following a pattern.  It was based off of a crochet tutorial that I just adapted and continued and it turned into this really cute lap blanket.

My former bestie was moving and I wanted to give her a going away present.  I couldn’t be happier with how this turned out.

Her pug, Shadow has apparently stolen it, no now I will be making more for her other two pugs. 

Materials:

3 Skeins of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Solids (I used the color BLOSSOM)

1 size P (15 mm) crochet hook

Instructions:

Chain 60 ( this is the amount that I used but you can chain more if you want a wider blanket)

Row 1: 1 SC and 1 DC in the 2nd chain from the hook. Skip 1 Chain. *Complete [1 SC + 1 DC] in the following chain. Then skip 1. Repeat from * until the end of the row

Rows 2-60 or more: Chain 1 & Turn. Complete [1 SC + 1 DC] into the 2nd stitch from the hook. Skip the next stitch and * complete [1 SC + 1 DC] in the following stitch. Then, skip 1. Repeat from * until you reach the end of the row (feel free to add more rows if you want it longer, I just kept adding until I ran out of yarn on the third skein)

Finishing: At the end of your last row fasten off . Weave in all loose ends.

That’s it!  Easy right?
