THROW

TO BE UPDATED SOON

A comforting knee rug or baby blanket, or a longer afghan or child’s bed coverlet when the size is adjusted as shown. Each offers a choice of unique original designs with a natural wilderness theme. The throw is worked in an easy crochet diamond mesh with shell stitches for the motifs, which are incorporated during construction. Construction begins with the central panel, then the surrounding rows are simply continued around all four sides. The result is a softly draping throw that is lightweight and breathable.

Working tip

To mark your place in a complex lace design as you are working it, use a ruler that moves up the page as you work each row. When working from a printout, this can be physical ruler. When working from a digital screen, it can be a line that is drawn with the Comment feature in the Adobe PDF reader. The line is editable, i.e. you can first draw a very short straight line, then stretch it horizontally to cover the full width of the page, then move it upwards as your work progresses up the page.
