HOOK: 5 mm hook or size H hook for the US
YARN: I used worsted weight yarn, 4 ply US, 10 ply AU
Each Skein was – 100 grams / 3.5. oz or 210 meters / 230 yards
Amount of skeins in each color that I used:
- 4 Off white
- 3 blue
- 3 tan
Size of my lapghan:
- 55 in / 139 cms in length
- 40 in / 102 cms wide
ABBREVIATIONS
- ch = Chain
- sl st = Slip Stitch
- beg = beginning
- sk a st = skip a stitch
- DC = Double Crochet
- DCFS = Double Crochet Foundation Stitch
- Repeat what’s in between * for rest of row.
Special Stitch:
DFPC= Double Front Post Cluster
YO and grab up the next post just like you would a Front post double crochet and pull up a loop. 3 loops on the hook
YO and go back under the same exact front post and grab up another loop. 5 loops on the hook
YO pull through only 4 of the loops,
YO and pull through last 2 loops.
Multiples of the stitch:
6 + 5 this means to DCFS in sets of 6 until you reach your desired size then DCFS 5 more and you’re ready to go.
To start:
For crib size DCFS 119
For lapghan size DCFS 125
If you’d prefer to have a beginning chain then just add + 1 so crib would be 120 and lapghan would be 126 then do a row of DC’s starting in the 3rd chain from the hook and then continue with row 1.
ch 2 and turn.
Row 1
*DC in next st. DFPC on post of next stitch. DC in next stitch.
Sk a st and DC 3 into next. Sk a st *
repeat for the row. DC in ending stitch. ch 2 and turn.

The ch 2 always counts as your first stitch of the row.
