Stripey Lap Blanket

This delightful small lap blanket is not only quick and easy to knit, but it is also the perfect project for beginner knitters looking to enhance their skills. Utilizing the simple garter stitch throughout, this pattern provides an excellent introduction to knitting techniques. By combining various chunky and 8ply yarns, you can create a beautiful texture while ensuring warmth and comfort.

This versatile lap blanket can serve multiple purposes—it's ideal for cozying up while watching TV, as a soft and welcoming baby blanket, or an excellent travel companion. It's also a thoughtful gift for someone using a wheelchair, providing them with both warmth and style. Feel free to substitute yarns that reflect your personal taste, as long as you maintain the correct tension; you can easily modify the blanket by adding more stitches and rows to achieve a larger size. Just remember to keep the main color rows consistent at either end for a balanced look.

*Note: The yarn is used double for added thickness and warmth.
