Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

Each rep = 6". 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.

STITCH EXPLANATION:


Cluster of 2-dc: 2 dc (half closed and joined tog) worked across designated ch's or dc's.
Cluster of 3-dc: 3 dc (half closed and joined tog) worked across designated ch's or dc's.
Cluster of 5-dc: 5 dc (half closed and joined tog) worked across 5 designated ch's or dc's.

Note: These clusters are made by working a specified number of double crochets to the point where you would normally do your last yarn-over-pull-through-two and keeping them on the hook (you will have multiple loops on your hook), then yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook to close the cluster and draw it together. The clusters are the mirror image of the shell stitches with which they alternate.

PATTERN (multiple of 16 sts + 4):
Row 1: 1 cluster of 2-dc worked across 5th and 6th ch from hook, (ch 1, sk 1 ch, 1 dc in next ch) 2 times, ch 1, sk 1 ch, *5 dc in next ch, (ch 1, sk 1 ch, 1 dc in next ch) 2 times, ch 1, sk 1 ch, 1 cluster of 5-dc worked across next 5 ch, (ch 1, sk 1 ch, 1 dc in next ch) 2 times, ch 1, sk 1 ch,* rep from * to * across, ending last rep 5 dc in next ch, (ch 1, sk 1 ch, 1 dc in next ch) 2 times, ch 1, sk 1 ch, 1 cluster of 3-dc worked across last 3 ch.

Super Fast & Easy Throw Reviewed by Crystal on 2008-07-15 *****
The name says it all! This pattern is easily memorized so you don't have to keep referring to it and it makes a great weekend project. I have made at least 6, have given them all as gifts, but will soon make my very own.
