Optional Filler


The space where 4 squares are joined leaves a pretty big hole. You can fill this hole if you like by joining the yarn with a sc in any of the ch-3 spaces in these areas, and then working a sc in each of the remaining 7 ch-3 spaces; join with a sl st to the first sc. Fasten off. Repeat each place 4 squares are joined.




Edging


Join yarn with a sc in the first unworked ch-3 loop on the first motif (the loop after the loops that attach motif 1 to motif 9), ch 2, hdc in the side of the post of the sc, (sc in the next ch-3 loop, ch 2, hdc in the side of the post of the sc) 17 times, sc in each of the next 2 ch-3 loops that join the motifs, *(sc in the next ch-3 loop, ch 2, hdc in the side of the post of the sc) 9 times, sc in each of the next 2 ch-3 loops that join the motifs*, repeat from * to * 2 times, (sc in the next ch-3 loop, ch 2, hdc in the side of the post of the sc) 18 times, sc in each of the next 2 ch-3 loops that join the motifs, repeat from * to * 6 times, (sc in the next ch-3 loop, ch 2, hdc in the side of the post of the sc) 18 times, sc in each of the next 2 ch-3 loops that join the motifs, repeat from * to * 6 times, (sc in the next ch-3 loop, ch 2, hdc in the side of the post of the sc) 18 times, sc in each of the next 2 ch-3 loops that join the motifs, repeat from * to * 3 times; join with a sl st to the first sc. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

In my search to find a Lap Blanket Pattern, I Found out you can use a baby blanket pattern and just use adult colors, I also ran across this,

Lion Brand® Babysoft®
GAUGE:

1 Square = 9 3/4 in. (25 cm) in pattern stitch. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
