Do you like crocheting quick and easy blankets? I do! They are one of my favorite things to do when I want a mindless project to work on. The Thistle Throw is the perfect size so that it doesn’t take too long to finish but it’s still looks great thrown on the back of a couch!
The Thistle Throw is worked from the bottom up, with a fun row repeat! It’s made entirely of double crochet and chain stitches, so it’s perfect for beginners.
The Vel-Luxe yarn is super soft and easy to work with. I used the Dusty Pink color and think it’s beautiful! They have lots of other colors to chose from as well.
I know that you guys have been loving the video tutorials that i’ve been including with my new designs and The Thistle Throw has one too! I’ll walk you through step by step on how to make the blanket, the border and the tassels! Be sure to check it out and subscribe!
So, I don’t know about you guys but I plan on staying home as much as possible this year and doing all my shopping online! I would much rather be cozied up under a squishy blanket instead of fighting the crowds to get my shopping done haha! I made the perfect blanket to do just that- The Fitzwilliam Throw Blanket!
The Fitzwilliam Throw Blanket is made with Lion Brand Cover Story yarn and Lion Brand Go For Faux Thick and Quick yarn! Both of these were the perfect combo to whip this up in record time. I think I worked on it on and off for only a few nights!
You can find all the yarn you need at JOANN stores! They had a ton of Go For Faux Thick & Quick colors to choose from. I was so excited when I came across the color “Zebra” because it reminded me of my dog- Fitzwilliam! If you’re not a fan of animal prints they also have a bunch of solid colors too.
