Super Fast & Easy Throw
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.

I had a different experience with making this throw. Sadly, I feel that this is NOT a "Super Fast" pattern. It's taking me forever to complete! And I've crocheted for well over 8 years now. I am using all the suggested materials, yet am still having a very hard time figuring out why they call this "Super Fast"...
On the up side though, it is coming out very pretty and warm. I'm using a solid color which shows off the stitches well.
