This one is going to be a replacement throw for my lounge. The burgundy one that lives there already is a little tired now. It has been well used.

I needed a project to take away with me. I am going to dd’s holiday caravan for a few days. This will keep me busy whilst away.

For a few tips see below for sts used in these throws:-

Popcorn - 4 + 1 over 4 rows (I always use dc instead of sc and don’t change hook size as recommended, (I make my Popcorns with 4 dc ch1 sc ch1 4dc popcorn).

Cable = 3 + 1 over 2 rows

Arrow = 4 + 2 over 2 rows

Celtic Weave = 4 + 2 over 4 rows (I would use a size larger hook for this one as it does nip in at the edges)

Basket-weave = 6 + 1 over 6 rows (I always use a size smaller hook for this pattern and work an extra row of beige before and after the basket-weave to give a neater appearance). (note to self: 1 decrease 3 sts and used 3.75 hook)

When adding the top and bottom borders in woven stitch, don’t forget to work a sc row first in the colour of the panel, for a neater finish.
