Spring Abstraction Throw
This is a lap blanket or throw worked in 100% cotton so it has some weight to it and drapes beautifully, using a combination of spring colours inspired by the yellow and green in my garden and the surrounding countryside. I have kept the stitches relatively simple, with rows of bobbles for added texture. The throw is worked from the bottom up, in rows, and is finished with a simple double crochet edging. Pattern is written in English using UK terms.
