Open Stitch Quick Crochet Lapghan Pattern

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.

The one above is shown in a solid color, but it would look great in cheerful stripes as well. Below it is shown in Christmas colors. Regardless of what you choose, this lap blanket would look great on any couch. Especially when worked in stripes, it makes for a nice decoration.

Plus, it’s a quick afghan that makes for a nice gift idea for kids and grownups alike.

The Stitch Pattern

The pattern is worked simply with rows of the double crochet stitch and a chain 3 to make the open stitch. The chain spaces are staggered between the rows.

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

The yarn used is Red Heart Super Jumbo, an economic worsted weight yarn; but with this stitch pattern, you could easily substitute any medium worsted weight or even a chunky or bulky yarn if you like.

The striped blanket is worked with Red Heart Super Saver.
