Welcome Fiber Arts Friday folks!
I have been working on a gift for my mom and I’m ½ way through and thought I’d share with you my progress. I call this one country flannel.
Mom asked for a warm lap blanket big enough to hide completely under. When I’m done the dimensions will be 4ft wide by 6ft long which will be plenty big enough I’m sure. It will be really warm too since it’s crochet using 2 strands of yarn so it’s double thick. I hope she enjoys the flannel pattern and colors; she wanted something that wouldn’t show pet hair too much. No alpaca in this one, I wanted to be easy to care for and be something she could throw into the washing machine so it’s out of acrylic.

That looks beautiful and warm. What a great gift to make.

I love this! It’s really nice that you can knit things for your mom.

Nice and toasty looking blanket. Isn’t it rewarding to make things for people who will love them? Happy FAF!

I love that pattern. I knit a similar one in similar colors on large needles and three strands of yarn in whites and blues. Your mom will love that!

Everyone deserves a homemade crocheted blankie. I have two. I use them all of the time.
I like how the blocks are three colors from the two yarns you are using. Your mom is very lucky.
