MOD SOCK MONKEY CHEVRONS LAPGHAN PATTERN

 

I finished MOD Sock Monkey Lapghan last night, that I started working on the evening of December 11^th – the pattern actually works up pretty quick; I was slow due to breakfasts, lunches, brunches, and running around town with friends in town for holiday shopping 😉

The finished Lapghan measures 42-inches wide, and 48-inches long. This is not a full-sized afghan ... just a shortie, meant to be laid over your lap and knees for warmth.

This pattern uses simple sc, throughout.

If you find it difficult to keep the increases and decreases straight in line, use a different colored length of yarn as a marker and carry it up the pattern, moving it up as you work it up: you will need 13 ‘markers’.
