Elegant Lap Rug - Free Knitting Pattern

Categories: Free Knitting Patterns   Afghans  

I wanted to make an elegant, simple lap rug in dark tones, that would suit a modern stylish household, and that a guy would like - white and lacy was definitely out. It needed to be a pretty quick knit, and a simple pattern with enough interesting bits that I didn't go nuts. I also didn't want to have to sew anything together at the end. After searching through stitch dictionaries, and knitting quite a few swatches, I came up with this combination, which is easy to memorise, simple to figure out where you're up to in the pattern if you set it down for a while, knits up quickly, has a wonderful understated texture, and was a pleasure to knit. I hope you enjoy it too!
