Welcome a new baby or provide comfort to those of all ages who would enjoy a lap blanket. This pattern is easy and repeats, so the creator can make it as small as desired or as large as a full-sized square afghan. The yarn used in the photograph is a sport weight Mandala (size 3); however, a worsted weight with a larger hook would work beautifully. Not only will this make a great gift, the beautiful colors make it an attractive sale piece. The level is easy and any out of the ordinary stitches are defined for convenience.
