The Perfect Poinsettia lapghan is one of my most cherished designs. If you’re anything like me, Hallmark Christmas Movies are a guilty pleasure, and their traditional festive colours always spark that warm, nostalgic feeling of Christmas. When I set out to design this lapghan, I knew it had to feature the poinsettia flower, a true symbol of the season. I absolutely love having poinsettias around during Christmastime, though I must admit, my husband is the one who keeps them alive since I’m hopeless with houseplants!
As I worked on this design, I couldn’t help but think about those beautiful, oversized bows that seem to appear on every gift in the movies. That’s when inspiration struck: what if the lapghan itself could be a gift, complete with a big, bold bow on the front? Now, whenever I drape it over my lap to watch a favourite film, it feels just like being wrapped up in a present, ready to enjoy the magic of the season.
This handcrafted creation is more than just a blanket – it’s a celebration of holiday comfort and tradition. Whether you’re looking to add a splash of festive colour to your home or searching for the perfect handmade gift, the Perfect Poinsettia lapghan is a heartfelt choice. Every stitch is designed to bring joy, warmth, and a touch of movie magic into your space. You can find more of my crochet patterns for your next project.
Crochet Tips: Bringing Holiday Cheer to Your Creations
If you’re inspired to start your own seasonal project, here are a few tips:
