This throw is marked by a traditional feather and fan pattern. It can easily be made to any size you desire - the following pattern instructions are for a 3 foot by 4 foot cozy lap blanket.

The necessary elements for making a lovely project are:

  • Size 10 knitting needs. I used a set of 24” circular needles which worked great
  • A few skeins of yarn
  • Stitch markers (if preferred)
  • Darning needle for weaving in the ends

Note on yarn choice: I used Caron’s Cakes yarn which gradually changes color as you knit. This is what produced the beautiful varying row colors in the blanket displayed.
