When it comes to anything crocheted or knitted, chunky is better. The large loops, interwoven together, create a texture which just has to be touched. Chunky throws are the ideal accompaniment for snuggling on a cold night, preferably with a wood fire!

To fulfil all your chunky throw needs I’ve designed a throw for you to make. The Cold Hands Warm Heart throw is super chunky, making it the perfect winter accessory. Made from merino wool yarn, it feels and looks soft and luscious. It looks that good that it’s hard to resist it when it’s draped over your sofa. The great thing is that you can whip this throw up in a couple of hours - bring on the snuggling.

What you’ll need:
3 skeins of Big Loop Merino Yarn
25mm (size U) crochet hook

Size:
Finished size - 1.2m x 1.2m
Gauge - 3 stitches and 2 rows in a 100mm x 100mm square
