Crochet 5 1/2 Hour Throw
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®
GAUGE:
3 V-sts + 4 rows = 6 in. (15 cm) in pattern with 3 strands of yarn held together. 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:
Throw is worked with 1 strand of each color held together throughout.

Crochet 5 1/2 Hour Throw Reviewed by Camille on 2012-06-20
I increased the foundation chain to 76-chains because I wanted the finished product to be wider and longer than the pattern's description. I would up using 5.5 balls each of the brick and the rust and 6.5 balls of the autumn mist. I would estimate it took me 10 hours to finish this project. I love it and will definitely make it again. This is going to be one of my go-to patterns when I need to create a gift in a short timeframe.
