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 less 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 se romo on 2008-04-19 ****
I made this pattern using Homspun yarn in Sierra. Beautiful yarn and coloring. My finished piece measured 55x67 and I have one ball of unused yarn left. Please check your gauge if size is important.
