Golden Ridges Lapghan Pattern
Skill Level: Beginner
Whether you’re brand new to crochet or a seasoned stitcher, this lapghan pattern makes a beautiful blanket that works up super quickly!
Use any weight 6 / super bulky yarn you love for this quick project (quick compared to many blankets, at least), or check out the supply list below for the exact yarn and shade and hook that I used. The yarn I chose for this lapghan has great softness and sheen, and this blanket is H E A V Y! Not so heavy you can’t lift it (ha), but it does have a comforting, hefty weight to it, while still being cool to the touch.
Beyond the initial foundation chain and set up row, the rest of this beauty is completed with an easy one row repeat! No stitches to count, it’s a perfect “mindless” project to work on while listening to an audiobook (or “watching” a movie).

Here is the written pattern for the Golden Ridges Lagphan. Please note that in this and all of my patterns, US Stitch Terms are used! Also, you will be working in the back loop only throughout this project.
Pattern Abbreviations:
ch = chain
hdc = half double crochet
blo = back loop only
Here’s the written pattern for the Golden Ridges Throw!
Chain 101.
Row 1: Working in blo: Hdc in 2nd ch from room and across to the end of the row/chain.
Rows 2-60: Chain 1, turn. Working in blo: Hdc in 1st stitch and each stitch across to end of row.
After row 60, fasten off and weave in ends.
And that’s all there is to it! I hope you love your blanket! Don’t forget to tag me on social media when you share photos of your project - I’d love to see them.
Happy crocheting!
