If you prefer a basic beginning chain, chain the required amount + 3 extra, turn, dc in 3rd chain from hook and each chain across 

Reverse sc: working from left to right, insert hook from front to back in next stitch to the right, yo, pull loop through stitch, yo, pull through 2 loops on hook

Notes:

This pattern uses standing stitches instead of turning chains. If you prefer to use a turning chain, chain 1 and turn for all rows starting with a sc, chain 2 and turn for all rows starting with hdc, chain 3 and turn for all rows starting with a dc (ch-2 and ch-3 would count as stitches)

When changing colors, do so in the last step of the last stitch of the row before the color change

Color sections are worked in counts of 4 rows to allow you to carry your yarn up the edge of the throw instead of fastening off each color

The Border section adds 4” to each side of the throw. Take this into consideration when customizing the foundation to your desired size
