Knitted Southwestern Throw

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®

GAUGE:

14 sts and 19 rows = 4 inches on size 8 needles with two strands of yarn held tog. 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:

1. Two strands of matching color are held tog throughout.
2. When changing colors, be sure to twist yarn on WS from underneath to avoid holes.
3. Color D sections have 10 rows more than B, C, E and F sections.

Knitted Southwestern Throw Reviewed by Liane on 2009-12-05 ****
The blanket is beautiful but a lot of work--be patient. I crocheted the border with double yarn and size J hook. It gave this blanket a nice effect. I had to block the piece when I was done as the edges curl and it came out perfect. This is not an easy pattern and it took me quite a long time to make and I am an experienced knitter. You need a lot of big bobbins to hold the yarn. Had enough yarn left to make two small pillows.
