I love using cotton yarn for summery, beach projects. It is the perfect choice for cloths and towels because it is absorbent. I designed this for moms of all ages to enjoy while at the beach. The bright and colorful yarns add a cheery touch I hope you will love. This could also be made as a blanket from worsted weight yarn. I designed this to roll into its own bag and has a handle for easy carrying.

The Fireworks Throw is a great big blanket to cozy up under and watch a movie (or fireworks). It's thick and soft, made with high-quality acrylic yarn so it's easy to wash, and the stitch pattern is so pretty! It makes a wonderful gift for the holidays or just to tell that special aunt, "Thank you". This pattern calls for a bulky weight yarn, and the one listed in the pattern says "super bulky". The yarn I used was just a little thin for a Super Bulky but either will work fine.

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. Once you get the hang of pooling and set up the number of color sequence repeats you want for the throw this blanket works up rather quickly. Choose any variegated pooling yarn and a coordinating solid and make a throw for yourself.
