Princess of Diamonds Blanket

This lap blanket is an easy project, doesn’t use much yarn and is suitable for lots of people of all different ages (think the elderly, children, travellers or for anyone who loves to snuggle in a cozy blanket). If you’re looking for a last-minute gift, this blanket would be perfect! My latest blanket pattern begins with a granny square which is transformed into a diamond at the centre before continuing to be worked as a granny square. The scalloped border adds elegance as well as giving the lap blanket a professional finish. If you would like to make yours bigger than a lap blanket it's easy, just continue with round 6 of section 3 until you reach your desired size and then work the scallop border. > This pattern is free to view on my website: https://www.jerasjamboree.co.uk/crochet-lap-blanket/ /DETAILS Skill level : Easy US Terminology UK Terminology /MATERIALS 6mm /J-10 Crochet Hook 920yds/840m /300g Woolcraft Lightweight Chunky Yarn OR substitute yarn (great for using up your stash!)
