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
