Pattern Breakdown

The following sections outline the row-by-row instructions included in the throw pattern:

Foundation / Body

1. With B, chain 141.
2. Row 1 (right side): Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and each chain across, turn – 140 sc.

Finishing Touches

After reaching the end of the body of the throw, it’s important to add finishing touches to complete your project:

Border
