YARN REQUIREMENTS

You can use any yarn and colour combination you like. However, the yarn amount will vary depending on your chosen yarn and hook size.

For the Lapghan featured in the first image, I used an aran weight (#4) yarn and a 4.50mm hook for the body of the blanket and a 4.00mm hook for the envelope border. I used:

• 7 skeins of Yarnsmiths Create Aran (Cream) for the background.
• 7 skeins of Stylecraft Special Aran (Raspberry) for the motifs/pattern.

The final lapghan (excluding border) measured, approximately, 46” x 51” / 117cms x 130cms.

For a cushion panel you will need around 1 skein of each with some additional yarn for any border.

YOU WILL ALSO NEED

• The hook recommended for your yarn. In the sample, I used a 4.50 mm hook instead of the recommended 5.00 mm, as I wanted the texture to be denser. Hook size is personal choice, but will affect the final yarn usage and project size.
• A hook smaller than that used for the body of the blanket for the border
• Scissors, Yarn needle
