I don’t know about you, but my workplace is often cool. I don’t always want to wear my coat, especially in the summer! So, I decided that a little crochet lap blanket would be perfect for my office.
It is just big enough to cover my lap when I am working at my desk and take the chill off, and when I am not, it is stylish enough to lay across my seat or on the back of my chair and give a cozy look to my office space.
I didn’t want a huge blanket that would drag on the floor or get tangled in my chair wheels, so this was the perfect side to cover my lap and the top of my legs.
This pattern release is part of the 30 Days of Cozy pattern bundle from my friend Pam, at Made With a Twist. You can check out all 30+ patterns, even if you are reading this later after the 30 days have ended!
