With the weather starting to cool down, I wanted to crochet a blanket perfect for the cold months. My criteria for this blanket was that it be thick, warm, and sit perfectly on my lap. I’m happy to say that I achieved that with this blanket!
The Chunky Mountain Lodge blanket is 36″ x 48″, which makes it a nice lap blanket/lapghan. I love lap blankets for getting cozy on the couch with my coffee while reading a book or watching TV.
I chose the single crochet grit stitch for this blanket because I wanted it to be thick and extra warm. This stitch is so easy to do; I think you’ll have a lot of fun with it.

This pattern allows your blanket to be as big or small as you want. Just be sure to chain an even number of chains, then follow the crochet pattern until your blanket is the size you want.
