HI all. I am a new member from central Pa. I am delighted to find a

way to contribute. I dont have a lot of time to do a big afghan, so

being able to crochet or knit blocks here and there, and then have

them used for something useful is great.

I am also interested in the lapghans? I assume they are small afghans.

Does anyone have link to a pattern?

Hello!



If you are looking for patterns for lapghans you can try Bev's

Country Cottage website. They have many free knitting and crochet

patterns.



I make many lapghans and will take a baby afghan pattern and make

that for a lapghan or add more stitches to it for an adult size

lapghan.



I hope this helps.



Sheri F. from South Carolina

Hello!



A good rule of thumb in size for lapghans is:



Small 14 X 21, Medium 20 X 26 and Adult Size 26 X 32.



These sizes seem to work the best especially for those

in wheelchairs. The lapghans do not get caught up in

moving parts of the wheelchair and do not always need

tucking in like full size afghans do.

Hello!



I think you will really like the Bev's Country

Cottgage Website. At the bottom of their website there

are different categories that you can also click on

such as afghans, winter, etc. that will bring up more

of their patterns.

OOPS! I spelled Cottage wrong in the last email.



Here is another wonderful website with free knitting

and crochet patterns. It's called Yarn Lovers Room.

They have patterns for afghans, lapghans, baby items,

etc.

HI all. I am a new member from central Pa. I am delighted to find a
way to contribute. I dont have a lot of time to do a big afghan, so
being able to crochet or knit blocks here and there, and then have
them used for something useful is great.
I am also interested in the lapghans? I assume they are small afghans.
Does anyone have link to a pattern?

I am in Mifflin County, about 20 minutes from Penn State.

I have a few friends who knit and crochet, so I will be passing on

this group to them, or will include their contributions with mine.

the word on to any friends that knit or crochet because these boys

really do appreciate it.
