Lacy Crochet Throw for a Cozy Corner
Materials:
- Yarn: Worsted weight (4) yarn, approximately 800 yards. Use a soft acrylic or cotton blend for comfort.
- Crochet Hook: Size H-8 (5 mm).
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
Gauge: 14 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in double crochet. To measure gauge, make a swatch of about 20 stitches and 10 rows, then measure 4 inches from the center of the swatch.
Abbreviations:
- ch = chain
- dc = double crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
- sk = skip
- st = stitch
- sp = space
Instructions:
Row 1: Start with a slip knot. Chain 93.
Row 2: In the 4th chain from the hook, make 1 dc. Then make 1 dc in each of the next 3 chains. *In the next chain, make 3 dc, skip the next 2 chains, and make 1 dc in the next 5 chains.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the chain. You should end with 1 dc in the last chain. Turn your work.
Row 3: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). In the first ch sp, make 1 dc. Then make 1 dc in each of the next 4 dc. *In the sp between the 3 dc clusters, make 3 dc, sk the 5 dc, and make 1 dc in the next 5 dc.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the row, finishing with 1 dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
Rows 4 - 20: Repeat Row 3 until your throw measures approximately 36 inches long or until you have completed about 20 rows total.
Border: To finish, chain 1 and work 1 sc in each dc and 3 sc in each sp along the edge. At the corners, make sure to add 3 sc to maintain the shape. Sl st to join and fasten off.
Finishing: Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle. For a polished look, block your throw by wetting it and laying it flat to dry. This will help the stitches to open up nicely and give a beautiful finish.
Optional Variations: Feel free to incorporate different colors for each row for a striped effect. You could also add fringes at the edges for an extra touch!
