This throw turned out way better than I could have imagined. There were times while I was crocheting the squares that I just could not get the final picture. I tried various ways of laying out the squares but then decided that random would probably be best! I kept the border very simple because I felt that the beauty was in the colour of the squares. I did try other borders but they just never looked right. I used a 4mm hook for the border and a 3.5mm hook for the final row. It seemed to hold everything together well. Very happy!
