Diagonal-Striped Throw

Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

10 sts = 4 inches (10 cm) in single crochet. 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.

Diagonal-Striped Throw Reviewed by Ellen Kirkpatrick on 2010-03-13 *****
I saw this pattern and yelled stash buster.

I am using worsted weight with a size I hook and couldn't be happier.

I just asked the grandkids what their favorite 2 colors were then grabbed all the shades I had of those colors and added leftover shades of white/ecru/off white, whatever seemed to suit the colors best.

I am using small pieces of leftover yarn as accent stripes. I start and stop the leftovers where they end up. I have a purple and pink one almost done and a black and blue one well on its way.

I am killing my stash fast

Of course as the other reviewer stated, I always have to adapt patterns to suit myself so I am working in the back loop only after I get to the five stitch row. This allows the one row stripes to show up better and the afghans look different on both sides.

Only problem I have is no one wanted a yellow, orange or brown in their afghans. I am thinking I'll make some square afghans using this pattern with those colors and give them to a nursing home or the local children's hospital.

Thanks for the great pattern.
