The Olive Lapghan Blanket is a beginner-friendly crochet pattern that offers a fresh twist on the classic linen stitch. If you’ve been wanting to try something a little different while still keeping things simple and relaxing, this pattern is a wonderful place to start. The subtle texture creates a beautiful, modern look that feels both cozy and timeless.
Designed as a lapghan, this blanket is the perfect size for draping over your lap, accenting a chair, or gifting to someone special.
The pattern can easily be modified to create a larger throw or full-size blanket, and it looks stunning when worked in multiple colors. Whether you choose calming neutrals or bold contrasting shades, the design opens the door to endless creativity and personalization.
