Chalet Windows Throw by Lavender Hill Knits

Lace knitting takes on a whole new look when using bulky weight yarn. The Chalet Windows Throw is knit in a beautiful lace pattern reminiscent of the intricate lattice trimmed windows on Swiss Chalets. The geometric pattern appeals to both men and women, and works well with any décor – country, traditional, modern, even shabby chic. A special cast on and edging give the throw a beautiful finished edge. The lace pattern is very easy and does not require a chart. Using bulky yarn and large size needles, it also knits up quickly. Make this throw for a stunning addition to your bed or a cozy chair. It would also make a wonderfully personal wedding or housewarming gift.
