Checkerboard Textures ThrowThis a wonderful throw for those who like

to learn new stitch patterns with wonderful textures. Each of the 10 squares is a new adventure! Then a granny square is placed between each of the textured squares in a checkerboard arrangement. We’ve shown

it in all one color, but of course you can use whatever colors you choose for your own

unique design.

2. Each Granny Square is worked in joined and turned rounds. Each Textured Square is worked back and forth in rows, beginning at the lower edge.

3. All Squares are sewn together according to assembly diagram, and a border worked around the outer edge.

4. When instructed to work around a stitch “2 rows/rounds below” work around the stitch in the row/round numbered 2 less than the row/round you are currently working. For example, if you are working Row 4, a stitch “2 rows below” is in Row 2.

GRANNY SQUARE (make 10)

Gauge: Rounds 1–3 measure about 3¾” (9.5cm across).

With larger hook, ch 4; join with slip st in first ch to form a ring.Round 1 (right side): Ch 3 (counts as first dc here and throughout), 2 dc in ring, [ch 2, 3 dc in ring] 3 times, ch 2; join with slip st in top of beginning ch, turn—12 dc (four 3-dc groups) and 4 corner ch-2 spaces.Round 2 (wrong side): Ch 3, (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in first corner ch-2 space, [ch 1, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next corner ch-2 space] 3 times, ch 1; join with slip st in top of beginning ch, turn—24 dc (eight 3-dc groups), 4 ch-1 spaces, and 4 corner ch-2 spaces.Round 3: Ch 3, 2 dc in first ch-1 space, ch 1, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next corner ch-2 space, *ch 1, 3 dc in next ch-1 space, ch 1, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next corner ch-2 space; repeat from * 2 more times, ch 1; join with slip st in top of beginning ch, turn—36 dc (twelve 3-dc groups), 8 ch-1 spaces, and 4 corner ch-2 spaces.

Throw measures 47” x 57” (119.5 x 145 cm)

Special StitchesBpdc (back post double crochet) = Yarn over, insert hook from back side of work to front and to back again around the post of indicated stitch; yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), [yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook] twice. Note: Take care not to work into the top of the same stitch around which the Bpdc was worked; thiswould result in a stitch increase. Fpdc (Front post double crochet) = Yarn over, insert hook from front side of work to back and to front again around post of indicated stitch; yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), [yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook] twice. Notes: Take care not to work into the top of the same stitch around which the Fpdc was worked; this would result in a stitch increase. If the Fpdc is worked around a stitch several rows below, skip the stitch in the row currently being worked into “behind” the Fpdc.Fptr (Front post treble crochet) = [Yarn over] twice, insert hook from front side of work to back and to front again around post of the indicated stitch on a previous row; yarn over and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook), [yarn over and draw through 2 loops] 3 times. Note: Skip the stitch in the row currently being worked into “behind” the Fptr.popcorn = Work 4 dc in indicated stitch, drop loop from hook, insert hook in first of the 4 dc just made, return dropped loop to hook and draw it through, ch 1 to close popcorn.shell = (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in indicated stitch or space.
