Marlowe is an easy crochet lap blanket pattern featuring geometric filet blocks separated by open mesh rows. Worked in three colours using simple stitches, the repeating pattern creates plenty of visual interest while giving you a relaxing rhythm to crochet. The finished blanket measures approximately 36 x 54 inches (91.5 x 137 cm), with straightforward options for adjusting both the width and length to create the size you prefer. The pattern includes ideas for choosing your own three-colour palette.
