With the weather turning colder I decided to make myself a lapghan for myself to cover my legs when I am at the computer and this Striped Crochet Blanket Pattern was so easy to make!
It’s rare I make anything for myself so I wanted it to be special. I played around with yarn trying different stitch combinations until I found something I liked. I hope you like it too.

For this project you’ll need:

HOOK: 5 mm hook or size H hook for the US
YARN: I used worsted weight yarn, 4 ply US, 10 ply AU
Each Skein was – 100 grams / 3.5. oz or 210 meters / 230 yards

Amount of skeins in each color that I used:

4 Off white
3 blue

3 tan

Size of my lapghan:

55 in / 139 cms in length

40 in / 102 cms wide

ABBREVIATIONS used in the pattern

ch = Chain

sl st = Slip Stitch

beg = beginning

sk a st = skip a stitch

DC = Double Crochet

DCFS = Double Crochet Foundation Stitch

DFPC= Double Front Post Cluster

The multiples of the stitch is given so you can make your afghan wider if you like.
