Free Pattern Friday: Summertime Lap Blanket - Darn Good Yarn

Free Pattern Friday: Summertime Lap Blanket

BEFORE YOU START: 

This is a super quick, single row repeat pattern that creates a simple yet elegant throw. It is the prefect lap blanket for the outdoors or sitting on the couch. The bulk of the yarn and the large crochet hook make this a snap to pull together. Consider it a single day project (and who doesn't love that)!
