This pattern makes a small textured lap blanket to give anxious fingers and hands soothing textures to touch.
A perfect stash buster pattern for a crocheter with some experience, this lap blanket doesn’t need a specific size or gauge to be useful and allows you to try some new stitches in a pattern that doesn’t require perfection.
There are so many ways to customize this lap blanket! Try using seasonal or team colors, or adding buttons, charms, keys or beads for more texture.
