February Throw

I have joined +Crochet Along on Google+.  Each month a project is chosen for the group to do.  February's project was +Lion Brand Yarn Company's 5 1/2 Hour Throw.  I finished it today!

I really loved this project.  The pattern was easy to follow and provided a fun finished throw.  I plan on giving this throw to a male family member who has recently started chemo.  Since this was such an easy project, I plan on making two more as gifts.  

For this throw, I chose a blue color pallet.  My stitches are tighter than the picture on the pattern due to the fact that I couldn't for the life of me find a 19mm crochet hook (I have recently found one-finally) and used a 10mm crochet hook instead.  I also did not add the fringe since this is for a male family member and I liked the look of the throw without it.

  4. Loved the throw - but not the crocheting! Used to do it, but now find I cannot keep up the counting involved: toys are much easier to do!
