What is a Lap Blanket?

A lap blanket is a small, cozy blanket that keeps your legs and lap warm when you’re sitting. With this size of a blanket, you can snuggle up on the couch, in a chair, or anywhere else you want to warm up without lugging around a large blanket.

What Size is a Crochet Lapghan?

If you have ever wondered how big a lab blanket is, you are not alone! They come in various sizes, but usually Lapghan blankets are about 35 × 40″ in size.

But remember this can vary from pattern to pattern since they are isn’t a set rule for a standard size. They are typically slightly bigger than a baby blanket dimensions are, so they can cover a lap when they are being used.

You may sometimes see these blankets referred to as lapghans in patterns on the Internet. If you’d like to try one of these, they are the perfect small size to crochet.
