SUMMER BREEZE THROW

Finished Size: 52” x 60″ after blocking

Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver Ombre in Deep Teal
2 – 10 oz. skeins

Crochet Hook: Size I/9 (5.5 mm)

Notions: Yarn Needle

Gauge: 2 pattern repeats & 10 rows = 5 inches (before blocking)

Pattern Notes:
– Throw was blocked to open up stitch pattern. If you don’t want to block the throw, consider adjusting the pattern size by adding 84 stitches to beg chain (ch 244). You will also want to increase to approx. 120 rows. (Consider extra yarn will be needed)
– Adjust pattern to any size by adding or subtracting 12 stitches at a time. (Ex: 12, 24, 36, 48….)
– Swatch is provided if you would like to practice the stitch on a smaller scale before beginning throw.

Special Stitches: Shell – 5 dc in indicated stitch

Abbreviations

ch – chain
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
hk – hook
