Super squishy Lap Blanket pattern

When @woollymahoosive kindly gifted me some Super Chunky Merino yarn in the most gorgeous colours I just knew straight away I wanted to make a blanket using one of my favourite crochet stitches the Lemon Peel Stitch. I love this stitch because it is really simple and creates a beautiful texture especially with this lovely squishy yarn it is one of my go-to stitches.

Materials:

Woollmahoosive SUPER CHUNKY MERINO YARN 200 GRAM BALL in colours Pink, Ash and Lightening. (Special 10% discount code when you buy any Woollymahoosive 200 Gram Ball of Super Chunky Merino Yarn with this code SWEETSHARNA10 )

12mm hook

Yarn needle

Size: 80cm by 60cm (To make your blanket your own desired size start by chaining an odd number of stitches, plus one more for your turning chain. You’ll end up with an odd number of chains)

Notes:

The Lemon Peel Stitch is worked by alternating between the single and double crochet stitches as you work each row. In the next row, your double crochets will be placed in the single crochets from the previous row, and the single crochets will be placed in the double crochets from the previous row.

The pattern is not going to tell you when to change yarn colour, I crocheted with each colour until I run out then joined my new colour yarn. This blanket would equally look fab in any colour way.
