Belly Blanket

Belly Blanket

I just finished crocheting a gift for a very kind man who has selflessly helped many people. He contracted a disease in the country where he selflessly helped very poor desperate people in need of medical care.  Since the disease involved his abdomen I made a very warm, double, crocheted lap robe and am calling it a belly blanket to keep his tummy extra warm.
  Here is a photo of it.  I used reverse lacy shell stitch because it forms a double fabric and is very warm.  I crocheted an afghan for my bed using this, and it is so warm that I only use it on very cold nights or I get too hot.  I hope the doc likes it.
