Welcome, my crochet friends! This week, we’re kicking off something incredibly special—the Navigator Lapghan project! I’ve teamed up with the one and only Bonnie Barker, an absolute crochet wizard when it comes to Celtic Crochet Stitches. I’ve admired her work for years, so getting to collaborate on this meaningful project is such a treat!
This lapghan is dedicated to all U.S. Veterans—a way for us to stitch up warmth, comfort, and appreciation. It’s beginner-friendly, fun to make, and absolutely gorgeous. We chose a blue color palette to represent the cause, but don’t feel tied down—go wild with your own color choices and make it personal!
Each week, both Bonnie and I will be releasing new tutorials, and you’ll need to hop between our channels to get the full lapghan completed. This week, I’m covering the Sc Cross Stitch Panel, while Bonnie is showing her first panel over on her channel. Make sure you check out both videos so you don’t miss a stitch!
