Today’s feature is from Woman’s Day with Make a Cozy Throw using old sweaters that you’ve outgrown or picked up on the cheap at thrift stores:

Recycle five or six of your worn or outgrown sweaters into a stylish patchwork lap warmer you’ll reach for all winter long.

No sweaters? Head for a thrift shop and take your pick.

SIZE: 42″ x 47″ or desired size

Spring is here and instead of packing away old sweaters that won’t make the cut for next season, why not whip up some lap blankets now (they’re so cozy and perfect for the lake!).

Also see Martha Stewart’s project for using an old sweater as a knitting basket.
