This is the kind of luxurious throw that beckons you to the sofa. You might recognize the humble knitted ‘dishcloth’ pattern (original author unknown)—we borrowed the bobbly picot edge from one of our favorite baby blanket patterns and scaled it up.

When the knitting’s this simple, it’s all in the yarn. So choose something yummy!
