Like some of the patterns on loopinglymade.com, this Lapghan is inspired by life and faith. I mean, there is so much that I see and experience every day that find their way into my designs. Sometimes it is a personal experience and sometimes it is just art.
The Hope C2C Lapghan is a heartfelt design filled with wishes for anyone who uses it. This is because Hope is that one thing that keeps you going. When the chips are down and you just don’t know ‘how’, hope sustains you.
The Hope C2C Lapghan is a testament of that little flickering light that won’t die out. And right in the middle of Hope is your heart holding on to the belief that ‘it won’t always be like this. It is going to get better’.
Making the C2C
Personally, I like to eliminate as much space as possible when using the corner to corner crochet technique. Unless I specifically want it to look spacey and airy, like in the C2C Mesh shawl. So this pattern follows the formula ch 5/2.
The subtle mesh stitch in the middle of the heart gives a unique look to the pattern. Like there are strings attached to the heart, and the only way those strings go is when a person ceases to exist. This lapghan is so wonderfully soft and warm. I’m certain this will be a well loved item for the owner or recipient.
The Yarn
I’m sure Caron Simply Soft is a household name that most crocheters are familiar with. True to its name it is soft, and has a subtle sheen to it. It is an aran weight yarn that comes in a 170gr ball with 315 yards.
In case you’re wondering, Aran weight is just a tad bulkier than worsted weight medium 4 yarn. To me though, the yarn feels like a regular worsted weight, I made this Short Sleeve Sweater with Aran yarn, so I can tell the major difference.
LoveCrafts.com has them in all beautiful 37 shades. So you really don’t have to look far to get some. You can substitute caron with the Paintbox Aran 5 ball value pack. When you do, You and I will each get 15 percent off our purchases. At checkout just type my name– Rose Obomighie (be sure to click the link asking if you’ve been ‘referred by a friend?’).

Important Tips:
- I recommend dropping the yarn on one part of the body. That is, whenever you want to change colours, regardless of what side you are working on drop the yarn on the side that will be the wrong side of the Lapghan. This way, you know you are weaving in tails from only one side of your work.
- this pattern uses the Chain 5/2 formula, NOT Chain 6/3. So the Mesh will be Chain 3, DC, Ch 1.
