Whether you need a lap throw for a quick gift or just want to make a blanket-sized piece you can wrap yourself up in, this textured throw will be the answer! Knit it in Green Mountain Spinnery’s new yarn Cozy Cotton, due out in April 2024.
Work the throw in one piece, from the top down, beginning with a band of garter stitch, then the slip stitch color pattern. Transition into the basketweave pattern and work to the lower edge, ending with another band of garter stitch. Finish off the side edges with narrow bands of garter.
