Loki & Lucy’s Luxe Lapghan (Free Crochet Blanket Pattern)
First thing’s first, here are the adorable twins behind the name of this blanket 😉
Introduction
I’ll start this post by [shamefully] telling you that my twins turned 3 this past April and I’ve never made blankets for them! So I was browsing through my local Joann one day and came across all the beautiful colorways of Bernat Bundle Brights and immediately fell in love with these two in particular. They were both right next to each other and screamed my twins’ names at me!
Fast forward however many months later to when I told my mom about this yarn and how I wanted to make blankets for the twins with them. Well, when they were on sale she bought me some 😀
The twins fell in love with the yarn immediately also and every time I would tell them “Get off of my yarn, please” while I was working on them, they would say “That’s my yarn!”
If you’re still reading I just want to say thank you for visiting my blog for my very first post and pattern! This has been a long time coming for me. I’m excited to see where this journey can take me and I hope you stick along for the ride!
Here it is!
Materials:
5 balls (each blanket) Bernat Bundle Brights (I used the colorways Razzleberry and Superhero, both exclusive at Joann Stores)
Yarn needle for weaving in ends (I use these for bulkier yarn like this!)
8mm crochet hook (I use this one!)
For the pink bobble border:
3 balls Yarn Bee Soft and Sleek in Hot Pink
For the blue moss/crab border:
2 balls Crafter’s Secret in Cobalt Blue
Stitch index:
sl st-slip stitch
ch-chain
sc-single crochet
rsc-reverse single crochet (aka crab stitch)
dc-double crochet
BO-bobble (double crochet 4 together all in indicated stitch)
Notes:
-The body of both blankets are worked exactly the same
-The body of both blankets are worked with a single strand and both borders are worked with double strands of worsted weight yarn
Gauge:
10 sts and 9 rows of moss stitch is 4″ x 4″ (10cm x 10cm)
Pattern:
Foundation: ch 102 (or any even number of stitches)
R1 sc in 3rd ch from hook, (sk 1 ch, sc in next ch) to end of row, you should end with a sc in the last chain, ch 2, turn
R2 sc in first ch-sp, (sk next sc, sc in next ch-sp) to end of row, sc in the ch-sp at the beginning of previous row, ch 2 turn
Repeat row 2 until you get to your desired length or until you have no more yarn, I used the entirety of the 5 balls I had of each. Proceed to your border preference.
Blue moss/crab border:
With double strands, attach yarn in any ch-sp with a sc, ch 1
Continue around the border with the moss stitch placing (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner, join with a sl st, ch 1
Repeat for 4 more rounds, ch 1
Rsc in first ch-sp to the right, ch 1 (rsc next ch-sp, ch 1) around the entire piece placing (rsc, ch 1, rsc, ch 1, rsc) in each corner
Finish off and weave in ends!
Bobble border:
R1 With double strands, attach yarn in 3rd ch-sp from corner (see picture below) with a sc, ch 1, continue around the border with the moss stitch making (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner, join with a sl st to the first sc of that round, do not chain
R2 Sl st in next ch-sp, sc in same ch sp, ch 1, continue with the moss stitch around, sl st to first sc
R3 *ch 5, sk 3 sts, sc in next st* around making (sc, ch 7, sc) in each corner ch-2 sp, (ch 2, dc to first sc) at end of row
R4 repeat round 3
R5 *ch 5, BO in 3rd ch from hook, insert hook through the post of the first and last dc of the BO, sl st (bobble complete), ch 2, sc in next ch-sp*, for the corners simply sc into the same ch-sp after you’ve made your bobble, ch 2, then continue to the next ch-sp
Finish off and weave in ends!
