Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn, 100% acrylic, in a soft sage green color
• Hook: Size J/10 (6.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 double crochets (dc) and 6 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 120. This will form the foundation of your lapghan.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, work a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *skip the next dc, chain 1, and dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Make sure to end with a dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 1. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3, then dc in each dc and chain-1 space across the row. Turn your work.
5. Repeating Rows: Continue to alternate between Row 2 and Row 3 until your lapghan measures approximately 48 inches long. This will create the beautiful open stitch pattern that resembles the gentle sway of willow branches.
6. Finishing: Once you have reached the desired length, finish off your work by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail. Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle to ensure a neat finish.

The Whispering Willow Lapghan is now complete! Enjoy the warmth and elegance it brings to your home. This pattern is perfect for beginners, and with each stitch, you'll find joy in creating something beautiful and functional.
