Hand Crocheted Lap Blanket – Soft Neutral Throw – 52 x 38 Cozy Granny Square Afghan

I’ve been crocheting for over sixty years, and one thing I’ve learned is that good yarn should never sit forgotten in a tote. There’s always something worth making. This blanket began with a granny square and with that it became the center and heart of this soft, neutral lap blanket. The stitch work is textured but not fussy, traditional without feeling dated. I don’t often follow patterns and this piece was worked freely just letting the yarn and center square guide the design. Measuring 52 inches long by 38 inches wide, it’s the perfect size to keep over the arm of a chair, fold at the end of a bed, or wrap around your legs on a cool evening with a book. This is a solid, comfortable, everyday blanket made by steady hands and years of practice. Not factory made. Not rushed. Just honest crochet.

Made with Caron Cloud Cakes in the Sandbar colorway, this throw has gentle shades of cream, taupe, soft gray, and muted blush. The yarn is 100% polyester — very soft to the touch, lightweight, and easy to care for. It gives you warmth without heaviness.
