Charity Lapghan #1

[yarncat]

This is my first completed lapghan for charity this year.I used my Ripple pattern and yarn from a yardsale(yellow & white) and some donated by my friend,SusieQ(medium purple).I call it "Pansy " ripple because of the colors.

Pic shows lapghan folded in half.The colors are the same on the other end.

 

Last year,I made 22.

it's lovely Catherine, great choice of colours

[DesertCrocheter]

Wow, it's lovely, Catherine, so sunshiny and happy. Great job! My first Project Linus blanket this year turned into a toy box cover for me because it turend out way too narrow for its length )that's because I decided to knit one--my first knitting project--and boy, was I off in yarn needed and length). But that's okay, it was a learning experience and now I'm back to crocheting and happy. Such a cheery blanket--it'll bring someone smiles. Patty

I really like the colors and the ripple pattern. I also make lapafghans. I've been giving mine to a Nursing Home. I'll have to try your pattern. Thanks for sharing and for caring.

you are right about the colors.. it turned out wonderful with those color combos!

[yarncat]

I have to admit,my MIL suggested the Medium Purple so it wouldn't look as babyish.I her like my own mom.

Love the colors, and the name!! What size do you use for your lapghan's. I've not made any and am cluesless on size...except smaller than an afghan and bigger than a baby blanket??

Thanks

Thanks!

I make lapghans anywhere from 25" x 35"(wheel chair) to 30" x 40". I do use baby blanket patterns,if the pattern calls for worsted yarn.I have also used patterns for 2-strand afghan,but use 1 strand and an I hook.

[Mom w/a Motif]

That is great! And you did 22! last year?! Wow... I just started one, the Rainbow Tears Afghan (chained 100 instead, I think, to make it lapghan size). I think I'll do a ripple next time. Tina

Lapghans do work up faster.I made 2 afghans as Christmas gifts and they took FOREVER!!
