I loved crocheting my “Breezy Begonia” lap throw so much I decided to crochet another one in the same pattern for my sister-in-law in her favorite color purple in dark (Iris) and light (Lavender Blue) shades.

I plan to use the same continuous join as i did in my “Breezy Begonia” throw.

Off to crochet 36 Begonia squares. I know the stitches by heart now!

For the edging I single crocheted in every space with a chain three between each single crochet for four rounds with Loops and Threads Impeccable Big! variegated yarn (Fresh Lilac).

Last thing to do is measure it and add a label.

Update: 9-3-14 You will noticed I added more edging. It was OK with just the variegated yarn but it needed a little bit more. So I added four rounds (single crochet in space and chain three repeated around four times) in the Iris yarn and then the first two rounds of Edie Eckman’s edging, #38, from her book “Around the Corner Crochet Borders” in the lavender blue yarn. Lastly today I machine embroidered a label for the lap throw and hand stitched it on the back. It’s all done and ready to deliver to my sister-in-law.

PS - Some of the attached photos are off as to the true color. It’s more of a purple than a blue.
