Crocheted Lapghan for my Grandma


I found this wonderful and easy Crocheted Wheelchair Lapghan pattern on Kathy's Crochet Cabin blogspot. I followed her pattern and made this one for my Grandma.


It's made in all double crochet stiches--my favorite!
Kathy's pattern uses an "I"  a size "J" hook and starts with a chain of 104.
Her pattern is 41 rows but I made mine a little bit wider at 53 rows.


The finished size of my Lapghan (including the border) is 32"x35".
I just used what yarn I had and that I liked. I made it out of soft yarn for Grandma.

The pink was "I Love This Yarn". The yellow was some thriftstore yarn called "TLC Essentials". I'm not sure what the green was as it didnt have a label on it anymore, but it was very soft--more than likely it was some leftover "I Love This Yarn". The varigated didnt have a label anymore either but I think it was Red Heart.  And the white border was "I Love This Yarn".

I guess I should have just said it was made mostly out of soft yarn called "I Love This Yarn." LOL :)

I crocheted 17 rows of pink, 20 rows of yellow, 8 rows of green, 8 rows of varigated for a total of 53 rows, and then the white border.

I didnt start with a full skein of yarn with any of the colors so if I had to guess how much yarn I used, here is my best guess:
  •  Pink, 4 oz
  • Yellow, 5 oz
  • Green, 2-3 oz
  • Varigated, 2-3 oz
  • White, 3 oz
So, a generous guess of total amount of yarn that I used would be 18 oz.

If you'd like Kathy's Wheelchair Lapghan pattern, please visit Kathy's Crochet Cabin and scroll down the right side and look for her "MY PATTERNS"  then look for "WHEELCHAIR LAPGHAN".
Thank you so much Kathy for the lovely pattern!  It was fast and easy to make. :)

    I dont know why it's hard to post my comments. Does anyone else have problems, too? I've tried to respond now about 3 times. Grrrr....

    My two younger kids and I went to visit Grandma and we had a great time. :) We took her some goodies and had a really nice time visiting with her. Even after we left, my 13 yr old daughter commented that she had fun. :)

    Grandma always was a spicey lady and still is. She recently moved into a nursing home. She still has a pretty good memory. She forgets somethings--like your name--but that's okay. lol :) But she liked our visit, the goodies, and the Lapghan. It was sweet how she showed it off to her roommate. :)

    Great job Cheryl! Looks cozy for grandma, and I'm sure she thinks it's even more special because you handmade it just for her! :)
