This knit throw looks impressive, but it is
amazingly easy to knit. Each square is knit
from corner to corner and then the squares
are sewn together. It’s perfect for a project
that you can take along to keep your fingers
busy wherever you go!
What you will need (continued):
Susan Bates® Knitting Needles: 6mm
[US 10] straight needles and 32" [80
cm] long circular needle (for border)
Yarn needle.
GAUGE: 16 sts = 4" [10 cm]; 32 rows = 4"
[10 cm] in Garter stitch (knit every row).
CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size
needles to obtain the gauge.

139.5 cm], not including border.

Notes
1. Throw is made from twenty squares
sewn together following assembly

borders are worked along all four
edges of throw and then diagonal
corner edges of the borders are sewn
together.
