An intricate landscape of twisting rope cables, rich diamond lattices, and textured moss stitch panels evokes a sun-warmed radiance that brings instant comfort to your space.

SIZES/YARN REQUIREMENTS

SMALL/BABY - Measures approx 38” (96.5 cm) wide by 60” (152.4 cm) long. Allow approx 1,969 yds (1,800 m) worsted weight yarn.
MEDIUM - Measures approx 48.25” (122.6 cm) wide by 69.25” (175.9cm) long. Allow approx 2,890 yds (2,643 m) worsted weight yarn.
LARGE - Measures approx 58.5” (148.6 cm) wide by 78.5” (199.4 cm) long. Allow approx 3,975 yds (3,635 m) worsted weight yarn.

Pattern size is adjustable by simply working more/fewer Pattern Panel Repeats and/or Pattern Row Repeats.

Large throw is pictured. Throw is displayed in these photos with the cast on edge at the head of the bed. Reversing the throw gives it a totally different look as the wide cables are visually directional! (I’ll try and get some photos added shortly showing it that way as well.)

Keep in mind that altering the size, differing tensions and even fiber content will change the amount of yarn needed. Please purchase sufficient yarn for your project. Better to have leftover for another small project than not enough for this one!

CONSTRUCTION

Throw is cast on and worked flat in one piece.

INSTRUCTIONS

YARN NOTES

Look for yarn with a good twist for excellent stitch definition. Avoid highly variegated and/or excessively fuzzy yarn as it will obscure the cable pattern.
