Ruched Throw

I finally got to weaving in my loose-ends! I finished up right after Christmas. I love this throw! I cuddle up in it every night on the couch. It's sooo soft and comfy and actually really warm.


Here's a detail of the stitches. It's all knit and so easy. It's just that one row of increase, shortly followed by a row of decreases continued through the pattern that makes the beautiful 'ruched' texture.


Pattern Source: "Ruched Throw," pattern based out of the book Hand Knits for the Home
Yarn: Lana Grossa, Soffice, it's 62% Merino, 10% Cashmere and 28% Acrylic - the 10% cashmere makes a world of difference
Needles: 8s

    That looks gorgeous, and so warm and cozy. My knitting is going slow right now so I've got nothing to add to my blog!

    Not fond of loose ends either. But it sure feels good when finished!
    Lovely!

    Your Runched Throw is beautiful! The neutral color you chose works perfectly with the pattern.

    Oooooh so pretty! What a great yarn snuggle in, too;)

    I have never knit a throw- this makes me rethink that idea!

    The pattern would make a sweet baby blanket, wouldn't it? It sounds easy to downsize.
