This is my first knit lapghan, it was a challenge but I fell in love with the pattern and the yarn. I think it took me two month to finish it, at a point it sat untouched a few weeks but I could not let it unfinished, so here it is and I love it.

It will be perfect for the cool autumn mornings, for me and my cat, as you can see he didn’t have the patience to finish it, so in part is his blanket too.

Baby blanket: 91 cm x 91 cm / 36″x 36″;
