The Windmill Crochet Throw is a beautiful Tunisian crochet throw that was inspired by the joyful and exciting feelings when going on holiday during summer time. This blanket is a pleasure to make and would make a wonderful gift for a loved one.
The throw is worked in columns using join as you go method featuring windmill-like shapes in colour on neutral background that are worked over two adjacent columns.
The project is crocheted from bottom up and left to right in columns.
This is a fun project for when you would like to work colourwork but not having numerous balls of yarn or bobbins on the go at any one time!
