To make this addition to your wide border - start at the beginning bar

attach and chain 4 then attach to the next bar.  Do this all the way around 

until you complete the double-layer border.

If you look very closely you will see a line of stitches that adds texture to the blanket.

Plan ahead the distance between each line.  Then you can determine how far apart to make your bright pink lines.  Attach to the beginning under two threads, chain 4 then attach to the next two threads.  Do this all the way across the length of the lap blanket.  Cut your thread and close the stitch leave a string to weave in. Go back to the beginning and attach again. Spacing as you have planned to keep the rows evenly apart.  I made seven rows.

3rd Update

Finished - Yay!

Make all your flowers.  Spread your blanket across your table or the floor.

Put your flowers in the order you want them.  Sew each one on and put a little bit of glue onto the center of each flower. Let it dry.  Weave in all your strings.  Weave it in by making two or three turns.  it makes it harder to come loose.

This Is What I've Been Working On

     Putting Up Christmas Decorations?.......

Well,Working On That Too.

I have completed one.  I have to weave in the strings of one and finish

the outer border on one.  I need to weave in those strings as well.

I will give you more information about them sometime today if not today tomorrow.

I'm going to store these away along with the many more blankets that I have.

Check back to the post prior to this one.  I posted a pattern for the flower

applique and information on how to make a basket.

Tweedish Decorative Basket

 

I'm working on a couple of projects this basket is one of them.

I'm working on 3 lapgans.  Almost finished with all of them.

Size N Crochet Hook

4 skeins  Red Heart Multi-Color Reef. 

1 skein Cafe Latte Brown and 1 Coffee Brown,

1 Real Teal,  1 Turquoise,  1 Minty or light Turka. 

Red Heart Yarn -  3 yarn threads on the basket

The entire bottom is made with the Multi-Colored Reef.

The top four rows are Cafe Latte.

The center of the flower is Cafe Latte.

The next color is Coffe Brown

Then The Real Teal continues nearly to

completion.  Turquoise for the center button.

Then the lighter minty blue and at the end.  

I worked with two threads throughout the whole flower project except 

for the minty blue 

at the end. 

I followed this pattern on u-tube but I decided to add a solid color at the top with the

Cafe Latte.

Then I made this applique to adorn the front.

Cafe Latte

Start: Row One:  the project with a Magic Ring  (MR)  sc 10 and pull the string to tighten the ring. 

 SS stitch closed. 

Second Row: Ch 2 + 1 DC = 2DC - DC 2 in each sc around,  Dc 1 in with the ch2.  SS closed.  20 DC

Coffee Brown

3rd Row: Chain 2 + 1 DC = 2 DC in the first space, 3 DC in the second space,

2DC crochet in the 3rd space, 3 DC in the 3rd space.  continue the same pattern all the way around.  SS closed.  (50 DC)

Real Teal 

4th Row: Chain 1, SC in the next 4 stitches, chain 2,  SC in the next 4 stitches, chain 2 continue the same pattern all the way around.

SS closed.

5th Row:  Chain 4 attach to the next space top with a slip stitch, chain 4 connect to the next space with a slip stitch, continue this way until you finish the round.  SS closed

6th Row:  On the first chain 4 space crochet as follows - 1 sc, 1hdc, 1 dc, 1 tc, chain 2, 1 tc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, Do the same all the way around on each chain four chains.  SS closed.

Turquoise 

The Button Center:     Make an (MR) SC 12 in the ring.  Pull tight and SS closed.  Attach it to the center of the flower.

Light Minty Or Blue

Single thread here.

Chain Edge:     Attach to the outer edge of the 4th row.  Chain 3 attach to the 3rd space of the chain 4.  and chain three attach where the fourth row attaches.  Chain 3  attach to the 3rd space of the chain 4 .

Continue to end.  It looks kind of like lace

Hide your strings by weaving in and out with a yarn needle.

Attach to the front of your basket with matching yarn and a yarn needle.

Crochet these petals all the way around.

Use the coffee-colored yarn to darn

a little if you have to.

Make a magic ring using two yarn threads of turquoise.

Sc 12 into the MR pull tight and ss securly.  

Tie the 4 strands of thread together and pull through the center.

Tie them together with the Cafe Latte threads in the back.

Cut what you need and weave in all the loose threads.

I made this into one piece.  The flower is not an applique here.

It is crocheted together.  I decided to call it "Flower In The Desert".
