With an open stitch, this quick crochet lapghan pattern can be worked up in a day or two depending on how fast you crochet. It’s great for adding a bit of warmth, and in a cotton yarn it would make for a lovely summer lapghan.
This pattern is a redo of one of my older patterns. I made a few changes to help the blanket lay flatter and also adjusted the width for a lapghan size.
This one is shown in a solid color, but it would look great in cheerful stripes as well. I’ve started one in Christmas colors and it looks good so far. Hopefully, I’ll have a picture up soon so you can see how cheerful and bright it can be.
The pattern is worked simply with the double crochet stitch and a chain 3 to make the open stitch. As for the edging, I simply did a single crochet edge. You could try a contrasting color, like a dark chocolate color rotated with the cafe latte for a few rounds, or you might want to experiment with some of the lace edgings found here: Crochet Edgings
The yarn used is Red Heart Super Jumbo, an economic yarn; but with this stitch pattern, you could easily substitute any medium worsted weight or even a chunky or bulky yarn if you like.
