Here is a free knitting pattern for the perfect throw, to use when you want something warm and cozy.
The bulky yarn used for this pattern gives the appearance that it has taken much more time to knit than it actually did.
A circular knitting needle is recommended for this knitting pattern, simply to accommodate for the size of the blanket. There is no need for you to knit in the round even though a circular needle is recommended. Instead, simply knit this blanket back and forth on the circular needle like you would with standard knitting needles.
The finished through/afghan measures 40 inches x 50 inches, and as with pretty much all knitted throw patterns, gauge is not really important.
The recommended yarn for this knitting project is 15 balls of Red Heart Grande, although there are many different bulky yarns that could be used for this project that would give just as beautiful a result!
For instance, Lion Brand Chunky Wool-Ease yarn would be a good substitute, and there are dozens of different colors of this yarn to choose from. Here is a link to this yarn.
