I am into fall colors these days, most specifically, the rusts, oranges and greens. The trees are just starting to lose their leaves, so I'm finding lots of inspiration every time I walk outside.
In the spirit of fall, I designed a lovely little lap throw, perfect for mornings when there is a bit of chill in the air. The throw is constructed with 6 by 6 inch squares, crocheted using a large hook and bulky yarn. Rather than buy yarn, I used some that I had in my stash. You could do the same, or buy yarn if that suits you.
The Supplies
Bulky weight yarn
15mm crochet hook
Tapestry needle
Notes:
You will be making 9 squares, with each square being approximately 6" x 6".
The Pattern
Chain 9
Row 1: Single crochet in second chain from hook and in each chain across. Chain 1, turn.
Row 2: Single crochet in first stitch. *Slip stitch in the next stitch, half double crochet in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * to the last stitch in the row. Single crochet in the last stitch. Chain 1, turn.
Row 3: Repeat Row 2. Continue until your squares measure about 6" x 6".
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Connect the squares together using single crochet stitch, and then connect the strips together in the same manner.
I made mine with 9 squares, but you could always expand on this and make yours bigger.
Here are a few photos. You can see the finished throw in the sidebar to the right on my blog page.
