This lasting impression lapghan looks very nice, and the pattern is very easy to follow. You can most definitely make this in any colors you like. I do like the looks of these colors together, but normally I would prefer pink, purple, and maybe white together. What are your favorite yarn colors to make together?

This is a beautiful project, and I love that its a lapghan instead of a full afghan. I tried searching for a free downloadable pattern at the Premier Yarn website, but their Search function is not quite a intuitive as some of the other yarn sites. I havent found it yet, but I will keep trying. This is too complicated a pattern to try to just scroll through the page here.

This Lasting Impression Lapghan looks so soft and comfy. The yarn used gives the look and feel that is very enticing and inviting. You want to just bundle up under this lapghan for the much needed warmth and comfort. You can also use the colors of your choice. Enjoy crocheting.

What a pretty design. The only thing better is how easy it is to do. It's simple yet looks as if it was very time consuming and complicated. I really like it but since I want it for Christmas the colors will be replaced with white , red, and green. Thank you for this!

A group of us friends (including 1 man!) get together once a week to crochet wraps and lapghans for a local chronic care facility. So we are always on the look out for new and different patterns and designs so that everyone does not have the same afghans or wrap as everyone else. This one has been voted Most Gorgeous of the week by the group so we are now madly crocheting away to make a few in different colors.
