Did you know that Terracotta is Lion Brand’s color of the year? I knew that I wanted to design something using the color and thought it would be so pretty as a blanket! Terracotta means- “unglazed, typically brownish-red earthenware”. One of my followers on Instagram pointed this out and suggested the name “The Potters Throw” for my blanket! I thought it was so perfect!
I had some leftover Homespun Thick & Quick from my Snowcap Cardigan and thought it would mix in so well with this design. I alternated Wool Ease Thick & Quick with Homespun Thick & Quick every row and loved the texture it ended up with. I know you are probably thinking…”But what about all the ends you have to weave in?!” Well NO worries! All you have to do is tie a knot every time you change yarn colors. You will crochet an easy trim around the border of the blanket working directly over the ends! That means you have only a few to weave in! Handy, right?
I also realllly want to see this blanket made in black and white! How pretty would that be? If you purchase the Lion Brand kit you can customize your color choices! If you happen to make one in black and white be sure to tag me on social media so I can see!
I even made a full video tutorial for this blanket so be sure to check it out if you need help! Don’t forget to subscribe for more free tutorials!
