Blanket for donation is done!
I’m super excited to share with you the finished Inca Blocks Lapghan! The pattern was adapted from Beth Graham’s Inca Block Wrap. The only change I made was to add some stripes and work a few less rows. Basically I worked the pattern until I ran out of yarn. The finished blanket is 42″ wide X 39″ long and should be a nice and cozy lapghan. I know it kept me cozy while I was stitching it 🙂
This blanket and the other lapghan I made earlier this year, will be donated to the local nursing home. Every year, just before Thanksgiving, the nursing home puts up a wish tree of items needed by residents who don’t have much or don’t receive many visitors. I always see lap blankets listed and I always wish I had time to make one. This year I (finally) thought ahead and made two ahead of time. The tree should be up this week.
This blanket is included in my Stash Bust for Charity, 2015 challenge. The blanket weighs just over 1 pound, 1.5 ounces.

Found this pic of the Inca Block lapagan. Love the look but can not find pattern. Do you have it available?
