  1. Hi I love this pattern however I am in Australia and Im not sure what the yarn that is used and the suppliers website is not in English just wondering if you could help me out

  2. Same here for me….I went to the link for the yarn, but it’s in a foreign language and I can’t find the yarn. Can you tell me the weight?

  5. It looks like some kind of ribbon or ribbon cord. They tell you to burn the ends at the very end, that’s why I assume it is a ribbon type of material.

  6. I am struggling with this pattern. I have finished the base . Do not know where to start the slip stitch edge . Assuming back centre? The handle instructions also are a little confusing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  7. Does this pattern have a gauge. Or can u let me know the size. Also can I substitute t-shirt yarn for red heart (strata yarn).
    Thank you

  8. So for the crochet pattern of the baby doll carry basket it says 2SC to 2 first st someone please explain

  9. I do not understand this pattern…on page two it ends with the base of the carry cot on row 9 then on the next page, page 3 there is again row 9 and it has a edge that you need to do anti clockwise then all of a sudden you start with the handles, surely you should first do the sides of the carry cot ?
    I would be so thankful if anyone that has made it can please advise.
    It also does not give you any instructions on how to put the bonnet on as there are no sides pattern.
    Kind Regards

Shock Wave Free Crochet Lap Blanket Pattern

This Free Shock Wave Crochet Lap Blanket Pattern from Mary Maxim looks like one of those wonderfully satisfying projects that gives big cozy payoff without fiddly detail. Mary Maxim lists it as a free download, designed as a crochet afghan/lap blanket, with a finished size of 45 x 50 inches.

What immediately stands out is the yarn choice. The pattern is made with Bernat Blanket Extra Thick, using 5 skeins, and calls for a U.S. U/50 (25 mm) crochet hook. That is gloriously chunky territory, which usually means fast progress and lots of squishy texture. If you are in the mood for a project that feels substantial in your hands and grows quickly row by row, this one definitely has that appeal.

Mary Maxim describes the blanket as having a beautifully textured, plush, soft finish and suggests it as a project for home décor or gifting. Based on the materials and oversized hook alone, that sounds about right. This feels like the sort of blanket you make for curling up on the couch, draping over a chair, or giving as a practical handmade gift that will actually get used instead of folded away “for best.”

The pattern is marked Easy, and the listed stitch requirements are straightforward: chain, repeat, double crochet, single crochet, and slip stitch. That makes it sound approachable for confident beginners and very appealing for anyone who wants a relaxing crochet project without too much counting drama.

I also think the lap blanket size is a smart one. Not every crochet blanket needs to become a giant commitment that takes over the lounge room and your will to live. A 45 x 50 inch blanket is a useful, manageable size for gifting, for wheelchairs or reading nooks, or just for keeping on hand for chilly evenings. That practicality gives this pattern extra appeal. The usability point is my own take based on the finished dimensions Mary Maxim provides.

At the moment, the pattern page shows no reviews, so there is not much customer feedback to go on yet. Still, if you enjoy easy crochet blanket patterns, super chunky crochet throws, or quick lap blanket projects, this one looks like a solid freebie to save.

My overall take? This looks like a fast, cozy, beginner-friendly crochet blanket pattern with plenty of texture and instant-gratification energy. Very much the sort of project you start because it looks easy, then keep going because the yarn feels ridiculously soft.
