Halloween C2C Mini Lapghan Crochet-along – Week 1 – Free Crochet Pattern

OUR HALLOWEEN C2C CROCHET ALONG MAKES A LAPGHAN SIZED THROW BLANKET. IT WILL QUICKLY BECOME A FAMILY FAVORITE TO DECORATE YOUR HOME FOR THE HALLOWEEN HOLIDAY.

We’re so excited for Week 1 of our Halloween C2C Crochet-along! We’ve worked hard to design a fun project that you’ll enjoy.

This week we have the Banner. With two options to choose from, you can pick the one you like best! Option one has the adorable Bat Applique. Option two has a spider as part of the panel – no applique needed. We can’t wait to see which one you choose!

We had several of you reach out and ask if we’ll be offering the option to purchase the Halloween project as a whole in advance – rather than wait for the free weekly version. We’ve added the Buy It Now (BIN) version of the entire Halloween Blanket to our Shop.

The paid version of the Halloween C2C blanket contains all the graphs, written instructions, and applique.

Halloween C2C Lapghan Pattern can be purchased in our Shop.

Please be sure to post your progress in our Facebook group. There will be a designated folder to post your completed panels in each week. We hope you love crocheting the project as much as we enjoyed designing it for you!
