6-Hour Throw

Lion Brand^® Homespun^®

GAUGE:

Exact gauge is not important to this project

NOTES:

4 stitches = 4 in. [10cm] in Stockinette stitch (knit on right side rows, purl on wrong side rows) with 4 strands of yarn held together. Due to the nature of the fabric when working with Speed Stix, gauge may vary throughout the knitting and is not crucial to this project.
Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends, knit or crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.

THROW
With 2 strands of A, one strand of B, and one strand of C held together, cast on 34 stitches.
Row 1 (Right Side): Knit.
Row 2: Purl. Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until piece measures 54 in. [137 cm] from beginning. Bind off.

FINISHING
Weave in ends.

Fringe
Cut 68 strands of each color yarn each about 20 in. [52 cm] long. For each Fringe, hold one strand of each color (4 strands total) together and fold in half. Use crochet hook to draw fold through edge of Afghan, forming a loop. Pull ends of Fringe through this loop. Pull to tighten. Make one Fringe in each stitch along first and last rows of Throw. Trim Fringe ends evenly.

6-Hour Throw Reviewed by Mitchell Marcy on 2009-01-08
I just learned to knit and decided to give this throw a try. It came out beautiful! The only problem I had with it was that it really isn't wide enough. It would be better if it was about twice as wide. Other than that, it was very easy and quick to knit.
