I have been seeing oversized chunky knit throws in all the home decorating department stores - some are done with arm-knitting or large needles - here is your quick and easy crocheted version! 

Two stripes a day (12 rows!) for a 7-Day project.  Quick work with multiple strands and a huge hook. I used three strands of Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca and a Q hook for a soft and cushy blanket, perfect for sitting under on the couch on these cold New York winter days.
