Boardwalk Ripple Edged Afghan

This pattern is very unproblematic with just a iv row repeat, but creates a very dramatic issue.  Information technology also works well for any weight yarn or fifty-fifty doubling yarn for a quick and thick throw.  The horizontal and diagonal lines go far look similar a boardwalk, such every bit Coney Island. The pattern is really rippled throughout, but it is only really visible on the lower and upper edges.

This is not designed as a reversible blueprint, but the dorsum side is attractive enough that a single cavalcade of the pattern makes an excellent scarf.  Ii or 3 repeats tin make a table runner or shawl.

Piece of work another december-cdc.  * Going across the chain, make ane cdc, iv inc-cdc, and 4 dec-cdc. * Repeat between the * beyond the row to concluding 13 chains. Brand one cdc, 4 inc-cdc, ii dec-cdc and one dc.

First March Hospice Blankets

My friend that coordinates the hospice projects came by yesterday, so I went ahead and gave her what I'd finished for her March batch.  I have xiii so far!

I fabricated this thick and quick blanket using a stash of bulky yarn.  The pattern is Christmas Camouflage past Melissa Leapman published in Leisure Arts Afghans For All Seasons Book Two.

This 1 is made from Caron Merely Soft yarn.  This is from my own pattern Knitted Funfair Afghan.

This 1 is super soft, made from costly yarn.  The design is Sweetheart Ripple by Kim Guzman published in Annie's Cranium Reversible Ripple Afghans.

While excavation through my many tubs of yarn I found a half-made sweater from this yarn.  I knew I would never finish it, so unraveled it and made this blanket using ii strands at once for a quick and thick lap blanket.  The design is Weekend Afghan past Melissa Leapman.

I made three more of Lyn'due south Round Ripple Blankets.

I have tons of cotton wool thread.  I have no thought what I bought it for, merely decided that lap blankets from it would exist fine. This is just a basic ripple.

This is some other from my own In-the-round Foursquare Navajo Lap Blanket.

This was another unfinished sweater I found.  I only raveled out the shoulders and collar and continued the pattern to make a blanket.

I had this Lion'southward Brand Homespun yarn left over from a coating I made for charity a while back. Past a complete fluke, I ended upwards using the same pattern to make this lap blanket, but on x.5 size needles instead of size 15 similar I used before. The blueprint is Assuring past Carole Prior, published in Leisure Arts Big Book of Quick Knit Afghans.

This was a really quick one to make using two worsted weight strands and a N crochet claw.  The pattern is Wintertime White by Linda Luder, published in Leisure Arts Quick Crochet Afghans Book Iii.

Last but not least is a new design I take written Crocheted Textured Reversible Lap Blanket.

Crocheted Textured Reversible Lap Blanket

Making lap blankets for the elderly and infirmed is an amazing way for stitchers to contribute charitably in an enjoyable and fulfilling manner.  Charitable lap blankets are usually designed to fit in the lap of the wheelchair bound.  Since they are and then much smaller than a full throw, they are quick to make.

This coating is reversible. The sample is 32 inches foursquare and fabricated from 100% Acrylic worsted weight yarn with a Size I (5.5mm) crochet hook. The sample took approximately 17 ounces or 760 yards of yarn. The pattern can be worked in a single color, or if desired, colour changes can be made betwixt sections.

The pattern tin can be hands modified to make any size blanket.  Begin with a multiple of six plus 3 chain stitches.

dc = double crochet
sc = single crochet
tr = triple (treble) crochet

Additional December Lap Blankets

Hospice distributed all the lap blankets my friend took the same 24-hour interval she took them.  I was concerned that they might need more, and then whipped out a batch of some that I knew I could brand speedily.

This is a pattern I created to make a more applied lap coating in the Navajo fashion I learned from my grandmother.

A couple more of Lyn'due south blankets which are so quick and fun.

When earthworks through my humongous stash of yarn, I came across this throw I had started many years agone.  It is simply a filigree of double crochets spaced by a single chain.  I had intended to weave yarn going the other management to give a plaid bear on, but this was never going to happen.  I only edged it with a green double crochet border and stuck information technology in this batch.

This is an quick and fun design by Lion Brand.  I might utilize this 1 again.

This is a stitch blueprint called Shell and Stripe from the Reader's Digest The Ultimate Sourcebook of Knitting and Crochet Stitches.

To slide one final one into this batch, I did a super quick blueprint with 2 stands.  I had i pound skeins of pink and yellow that I combined to make a peach blanket.

The Second Batch

My friend took some other batch of items to hospice in early December and I had v items in the batch.

These are ii more of the round ripple blankets that are and so quick and fun to make.

This kitty pattern was just so cute I just had to get in.  Other people were making information technology in lots of non cat colors, simply I just couldn't bring myself to practice that.  I will most likely utilize this design once more if I run across more cat colored yarn.

However another fun pattern called Jacob's Ladder that I got to requite a try.  I would brand this one again likewise.

This is a pattern I have fabricated many times as a baby blanket, only this time as a lap coating.  It's hard to run across the design with this knobby yarn. The pattern is Quiet by Carol Prior in Leisure Arts Large Volume of Quick Knit Afghans.
