6-Hour Throw
Lion Brand® Homespun®
GAUGE:
Exact gauge is not essential to this project.
NOTES:
4 stitches = 4 in. [10cm] 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.
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.

THROW
With 2 strands of A, one strand of B, and one strand of C held together, cast on 34 stitches. Row 1(Right Side): Knit. Row 2: Purl. Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until piece measures 54 in. [137 cm] from beginning. Bind
off.
FINISHING
Weave in ends.
Fringe
Cut 68 strands of each color yarn each about 20 in. [52 cm] long. For each Fringe, hold one
strand of each color (4 strands total) together and fold in half. Use crochet hook to draw fold
through edge of Afghan, forming a loop. Pull ends of Fringe through this loop. Pull to tighten. Make
one Fringe in each stitch along first and last rows of Throw. Trim Fringe ends evenly.
6-Hour Throw Reviewed by Lisa Schmidt on 2010-02-06
I agree with the other reviewers. 1) the edges did curl - I wish I had read the suggestion about knitting the first 3 stitches. 2) it did take about 10 hours - 6 for the throw itself and 2 hours for each side of fringe work. 3) the needles were short and the first two rows I redid numerous times until I finally got it going. 4) in the end, it is beautiful and a fun project once you work out the kinks noted above. I will make this again with the noted changes. I just wish yarn wasn't so expensive!!
