Lucky the Leprechaun spends the cool, dreary days by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa and his treasured lap blanket. This pattern was designed just for him. This pattern includes both written and charted directions and in knit in one piece (no seams!) to make finishing easy. The Celtic cables in this blanket and the different size option give it the texture and depth to make it the perfect cold weather accessory for every leprechaun and human alike!
