Half Double and V-Stitch Chunky Crochet Lapghan

This chunky crochet lapghan works up quick and easy. It has a bit of an open stitch, but with the chunky yarn, you can still find a nice level of warmth for your legs as you relax in your favorite chair.

Make this as a gift for yourself or for anyone confined to a wheelchair to help keep them comfy throughout the seasons.

This chunky blanket is worked with rows of half double crochets, followed by rows of v-stitches and chain spaces. It’s very easy, making it great for beginners who are comfortable with basic stitches and ready for something a bit more interesting.

I made mine the size for a comfortable lapghan, but in a simple multiple of four, you can easily make this to any size you want from a baby blanket to a full-sized bedspread. Use this blanket sizes chart to make it easy for you to adjust the size.

If making a baby blanket, choose a baby yarn and a smaller hook size if you like. I used Red Heart Comfort Chunky yarn with a 6.5 mm crochet hook. It is a soft acrylic yarn. It works up, making it great for blanket patterns. It was my first time working with this yarn and I loved it.

I used two skeins of yarn, but it came close to finishing the second ball, so you may want to get three skeins just to make sure you have enough yarn. Any leftovers can be used in another blanket with stripes or color blocks.
