Things To Consider When Making A Crochet Throw Blanket

by Cheri Knowles

A crochet throw blanket is fun to make and a great way to while away some spare time. There is a large variety of beautiful but easy patterns available both online and in books. You can choose a thick or thin ply depending on your preference. Be sure your hook size matches the ply of the yarn.

Rugs are often made from square or round motifs. These are either crocheted together as work progresses or sewn together later. If there is a gap between each group of four, a filler may be used to fill the hole and connect the four. If they are crocheted together it avoids the necessity of a lot of sewing later.

Afghan squares are a popular choice of motif. Choose attractive colors for your rug. Medallions can alternate color-wise or you might prefer one color for the centre with a contrast for the outer sections. Choose strongly contrasting colors for a dramatic effect or more subtle colors if they suit your decor better. A blanket done this way can be made as large as desired simply by adding more rows.

Throws can also be worked in one piece. A Vandyke pattern works really well. Subtle shadings of one color from light to dark and back to light make an eye-catching article. After the first row, check the measurements in case the original chain is now too short.

Once finished, the item will need an edging. While this is not always essential, it usually improves the look of the article. A single color border ties the work together. Choose the color of the edging carefully as it will make all the difference between a stunning article and something more ordinary.

Sewing hundreds of motifs together can be tedious and tiring. And darning in the loose ends even more so. But whether you make your <A href="http://www.handmade-things.com">crochet throw blanket</A> or one piece or many hundreds of smaller pieces, you will have an item worthy of passing down through the family.
