Koc Plush Easy Throw (szydełko)

The double crochet stitches make the fluffy yarn way less fiddly than I expected—even my first attempt at the border looked neat. Snuggled up with it on the couch right now, and the two-tone candy stripe gives it a cheerful pop that brightens the whole room.

The candy stripe border is what sold me—it gives the whole blanket a retro, cheerful look that stands out on my couch. I was nervous about working with fluffy yarn, but the easy double crochet stitch placement really does make it less fiddly. Cozy and cleverly made.

That candy stripe border really pops against the fluffy yarn, and the easy stitch placement kept my hook moving smoothly without any frustrating snags. It’s cozy enough for a nap on the couch but light enough to fold up for the car.
