Chunky Stripes Throw
"This beginner-friendly throw is easy to customize to any size that suits your needs. The pattern uses three colours in the design—a main colour and two contrasting shades. All three colours are used to work the Floret stitch, which adds a lovely “pop,” and the rows between the Floret stitches are worked in the main (neutral) colour in sturdy rows of double crochet. To bring it all together, the border is crocheted using all three colours in half double crochet. This creates a beautiful interplay of texture and colour. Whether you’re wanting a throw for your living room or as a thoughtful gift, this project is perfect for adding warmth and style. /DETAILS Skill level : Confident Beginner / Easy (no shaping, colour changes at the end of rows US Terminology /MATERIALS #5 weight yarn (chunky, bulky): Main colour 894yds; Contrast Colour (1) 298yds; Contrast Colour (2) 298 yds 6mm / J-10 Crochet Hook Scissors Yarn Needle /FINISHED SIZE Approximately 40” X 40” /STITCHES AND ABBREVIATIONS USED Half Double Crochet (hdc) Double Crochet (dc) Slip Stitch (sl st) Chain (ch) Each (ea) Stitch/es (st/s) Repeat (rep) Continue (cont) Space (sp) Main Colour (MC) Contrast Colour 1 (CC1) Contrast Colour 2 (CC2) Wrong Side (WS) Right Side (RS)"
