CONSTRUCTION
An easy, super soft and seamless pattern, the throw is knitted in seed stitch by holding two strands of yarn together.

The middle of the throw is worked flat, and the border is picked up and knitted in the round, with increases made on each edge.
It is recommended the use of a circular needle of 80cm/32in (with needles) or more.

Note that, after washing, the throw will expand considerably and will be bigger than the sample gauge knitted, due to the heaviness of the piece. Because of that, it is important to make sure to block it back to the original size. If you decide to keep it enlarged, please note the border will be wider than the main panel and the throw won’t be perfectly rectangular.
