Notes

The sunny spread pattern has a lovely organic feel to it. In these colors it reminds me of the skeleton of a sea urchin or a starfish.

But because I used the fenna which has different colors in one skein, the pattern of the Sunny Spread wasn’t completely usable. When changing for the next row, the color had a break I didn’t like.
So I started again and I changed it and started in the 3rd. or 4th row to make it a spiral instead. That took care of the colors changing gradually.
Instead of stopping the row with a sl.st. and then chain 3 for the beginning of the next row, I do a sl.st, then a st., hdc, dc but when I change the row when there are 3 stitches between the ‘ribs’ I skip the dc. That gives a more gradually change in color-row.

The squares are almost finished. My friend saw the throw and begged for it, so it has a good home.
