Crochet Lapghan Pattern – Pretty Simple

Sometimes, an extra layer of warmth from a cozy crochet lapghan draped over your knees is just what you need to stay warm and cozy on a chilly day. Whether it’s curling up on the couch, or reading by the fireplace, this crochet blanket is the perfect companion.

It’s also the perfect size for children to snuggle under as they watch their favorite TV shows. Another option is to spread it out on the floor for playtime.

This crochet lapghan pattern is not only super easy to crochet, but the colors and size are also easy to customize. Use this crochet blanket size chart to customize the size. The stitch pattern is very easy to work with in terms of adding stripes or blocks of colors.

I used Canadian colors, Red and White, which are also perfect for Christmas and Valentine’s day.
