This throw is perfect for relaxing outdoors but, of course, is equally nice for a dorm room or for a man to use. You work the horizontal stripes while crocheting the throw. Then chains are made and woven vertically through the chain spaces.

Skill level: Easy

  1. Horizontal rows are worked with ch-1 spaces evenly set apart apart. Strips of chains are woven vertically through the chain spaces to complete the plaid motif. Border is added after strips are woven and secured.
  2. Blanket is worked with single strand of yarn; vertical strips of chains are worked with 2 strands of yarn held together.
  3. Vertical strips are woven in groups of 3 or 4. Refer to grid diagram as the weaving sequence differs in each group.
