crocheted coverlet ... so very easy

This is a so very simple crochet project. Good companion to watching tv.

Its smaller then an afghan, larger then a lapghan, just perfect for a winter's afternoon of covering up, hot tea by your side and settling in for a good read. The one here measures 50 X 34 inches.

With Size J Hook and a pound of yarn (actually used about 3/4 of the skein)

Chain 76, sc in 2nd ch from hook and across ... 75 sc, ch2 and turn.
