Is your yarn stash silently judging you from the corner? You’re not the only one! Turn those scraps into the Niko Throw Blanket!

The Niko Throw Blanket is a beginner-friendly linen stitch rectangle crochet pattern designed for soothing stitches and serious stash busting. Worked as a center-out rectangle, this modern throw features a calming rhythm, clean edges, and endless customization. Made with DK weight yarn, it’s perfect for using leftover skeins and experimenting with color without overthinking. The throw size uses over 3,000 yards, making it an ideal long, relaxing project with a beautiful, heirloom-worthy finish.
