The Ennismore Lap Rug is a wonderfully organic design which brings to mind a freshly-ploughed field. The stitch pattern is reversible and easy to work, with a lovely textural feel to the finished item.

The pattern includes instructions for three different sizes – the small size is perfect for car journeys or when sitting in a chair or wheelchair, the medium version is a good size for a TV blanket or afghan, and the large size can be used as a cozy guest room throw.
