Crochet Knit Throw Blanket with Tassels and Openwork Stripes, 5 Colors

A Nordic-style crochet knit throw, worked in long stripes of big V-shaped stitches and open lacework, with a tassel fringe hanging from both ends. Drape it over the arm of the sofa or across a reading chair, and that corner of the room picks up a texture you can see from the doorway.

Pull it over your knees when you sit down for the evening, then leave it wherever it falls. It looks just as good crumpled as it does laid out straight.

Stripes of open stitches that catch the light

The throw is built in vertical panels that run its whole length. Some are packed with rows of rope-like V stitches that stand up off the surface, while others open into a lattice where you can see the sofa through the gaps.

Between every panel runs a narrow, flat band of fine knit, smooth and plain, and that is what keeps the stripes looking crisp instead of busy. Where the throw folds, the raised stitches cast small shadows and the open rows let the light through, so one solid color still carries plenty of pattern.

A tassel fringe at both ends

Each short end finishes in a loose fringe of the same yarn, gathered into knotted tassels. Over the arm of a chair they hang free and swing a little when you brush past, and folded at the foot of the bed they spill over the edge and soften its line.

The yarn is 100% acrylic. The knit falls into loose, easy folds rather than sitting stiff, so the throw settles over the back of a chair or around your shoulders without any arranging.

Five quiet colors and two sizes

Gray is a warm dark gray that sits easily on a charcoal or leather sofa. Beige is a soft sandy tan, and Taupe is a cooler gray-brown that sits between the two. Cream is an off-white that brightens a dark chair, and Teal is a deep blue-green for a room that could use one strong color.

The Small suits a chair or a lap, while the Large is long enough to cover you from your shoulders to your feet on the sofa. The exact measurements are in the specifications below.

Whichever color you pick, this becomes the throw everyone reaches for first.
