Fast Finish Throw
Lion Brand® Homespun®
GAUGE: 4 sts = 4 in. [10 cm] in Stockinette stitch (knit on right side rows, purl on wrong side rows)
with 4 strands of yarn held together. Due to the nature of the fabric when working with Speed
Stix, gauge may vary throughout the knitting and is not crucial to this project. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES: Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends,
knit or
crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.

| Fast Finish Throw Reviewed by Pamela Leigh on 2013-02-12 |

| I just completed this throw. It is a super easy pattern. However, there was a point where I felt I was spending more time trying to control the yarn than actually knitting. Once I finally got the yarn under control, things went much easier. My only complaint/concern is the yarn ends. This is such a big/loose knit combined with a fairly slippery yarn that it had me not trusting the weaving in of the ends. For the first time EVER, I tied the yarn in knots as needed. I would really like to know what others did regarding the yarn ends. I am thinking of making a second throw and using the method someone else mentioned that results in no wrong side of the throw and no curled edges. But, I don't know if I want to tackle this again until I feel confident about the yarn ends. Very attractive finished product. A bit weighty, but snuggly and warm.
