Easy Crochet Lapghan with built-in Border!

This is a beautiful diamond blanket pattern you can whip up in no time, with easy stitches and a border built right in! I hope you enjoy it!

Materials Used for this Pattern:
* Yarn – Lion Brand Schitt’s Creek acrylic yarn in Wine and Roses (or any weight of your choice). For the lapghan, I used about 1,000 yards.
* Hook – 6.00mm (or any hook that works with your yarn choice; I use 1 mm larger than recommended for a nice drape)
