Striped Moss Christmas Lapghan
"Who is ready to make a simple & easy Christmas blanket? I don’t know about you, but when the cold weather hits, I just want to watch Gilmore Girls and crochet all day. This striped lapghan uses the Moss Stitch, so all you have to know is how to chain and single crochet. AND Because of the way the stripes alternates between three colors each row, there are very few ends to weave in! BONUS! Have you ever used the Moss Stitch in a blanket before? It make a stretchy fabric that is just so wonderful! And the stitch is so easy. I have a video tutorial for you in this post. Be sure to check it out."
