For this project, you’ll need to use two strands of DK yarn (with the yarn doubled) and US size 10 needles (6 mm). The pattern requires approximately 500 grams of DK yarn, which is about 900 yards. If you prefer, you can also create this blanket using worsted weight or aran yarn with the same needles to achieve the same gauge and tension.

Upon finishing and blocking, the beautiful lap blanket measures approximately 20 1/2" x 25" (52 cm x 63.5 cm), making it a practical size for a variety of uses. Whether draped over a car seat or wrapped around a loved one, this blanket promises to deliver warmth and comfort.
