This is a large throw/afghan that is made using the multi-sequence color pooling technique. Then a beautiful solid color border is added to really frame the beautiful argyle look of the throw. I love the soft shades of this super saver colorway combined with the matching solids.

Choose any variegated pooling yarn and a coordinating solid and make a throw for yourself.
