Just finished this lapghan, used up some left over yarn from other projects.

Looks like it'll be nice and warm. I haven't run across that name for the stitch pattern.

That is so pretty. Love the colors and great that you are able to use left over yarn.

The lemon peel stitch is incredibly easy. 

Crochet Lemon Peel Stitch Instructions:

Begin by chaining an even number of stitches, plus one more for your turning chain. You’ll end up with an odd number of chains.

Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook. Dc in next. *Sc in next ch, dc in next ch.* Repeat * to * across the row.

Row 2: Ch 1, turn. *Sc in first st, dc in next st. *Sc, dc.* Repeat * to * across the row.

Repeat row 2 until you’ve reached your desired length.

So you see, it's just sc and dc.

Thanks, Mary Jo.  In this house, very little yarn goes to waste.  Yarn left over from large afghans goes for lapghans.  Yarn left over from lapghans goes for scarves.  If there are any small balls left over, I use them to make scrap afghans for the animal shelters.

Krys, I have not measured the afghan.  However, it is a lap sized throw.

Scrap yarn ghans for *animal shelters*? Wow, I never thought of that. I could do it too. At last I could use up some of the smaller leftovers. Great idea... :)
