This one is for my Cousin Vicky. She saw her Mums 2 throws and wanted one too.

I would like to get away from the beige/camel colour for the bands, but that is what she wanted!

May try a burgundy/cream one next.

I will start another now, as I am hospital visiting DH :( and this is an easy pattern to follow without thinking too much. Say a little prayer for him please.

For tutorials of how to do the stitches in Bonnies patterns, see her YouTube videos.

I start with 2 rows of sc and then start band of cable, arrow and cable in oatmeal, which naturally folds inwards on the low ridge row, which forms a nice hem which I sew in place at the end.

I just go with the flow and do whatever pattern takes my fancy. I started with the basket-weave and then popcorn, diamond and celtic weave with the cable bands in between.

Always enjoy making these throws, as you may have noticed. You can view all of my previous ones from the Aran Throw tab at the top of my project page here.

Note to Self:

When adding the top and bottom borders in woven stitch, don’t forget to work a sc row first, changing the yarn colour all along to make it look neater/invisible (see border photo)

Stats: 207 ch - 68 cables - 51 arrows - 51 popcorns
48” long 54 “ with border - 45” wide.

Used 50 gm for each cable band and 100gm each for top and bottom border

For a few tips see below:-

Popcorn - 4 + 1 over 4 rows (I always use dc instead of sc and don’t change hook size as recommended, (I make my Popcorns with 4 dc ch1 sc ch1 4dc popcorn).

Cable = 3 + 1 over 2 rows

Arrow = 4 + 2 over 2 rows

Celtic Weave = 4 + 2 over 4 rows (I would use a size larger hook for this one as it does nip in at the edges)

Basketweave = 6 + 1 over 6 rows (I always use a size smaller hook for this pattern and work an extra row of beige before and after the baske-tweave to give a neater appearance).
