The Americana Throw has thirteen stripes and a field of blue. Knit in garter stitch at a loose gauge, it’s sized just right for a child to snuggle with or an adult to cover their lap or toss over chilled shoulders.

The throw is knit in one piece; the stripes are knit first and then the blue field is picked up and knit.

The Americana Throw was inspired by my daughter’s wonder at the Star Spangled Banner exhibit at the Smithsonian.
