Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn in three colors: coral, peach, and red
• Needles: US size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by using the long-tail cast-on method to cast on 96 stitches with the coral yarn. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes the first row of your throw.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a nice texture for the back of your throw.
4. Rows 3-12:
   • Begin your chevron pattern: Knit 8 stitches with the coral yarn.
   • Switch to the peach yarn and knit another 8 stitches.
   • Repeat this sequence across the entire row until you reach the end.
5. Rows 13-22:
   • Now, knit 8 stitches with the peach yarn.
   • Switch to the red yarn and knit another 8 stitches.
   • Repeat this sequence across the entire row until you reach the end.
6. Rows 23-32:
   • Knit 8 stitches with the red yarn.
   • Switch back to the coral yarn and knit another 8 stitches.
   • Repeat this sequence across the entire row until you reach the end.
7. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating rows 3-32 until your throw measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Make sure to end with a complete stripe pattern for a polished look.
8. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure that the edge of your throw is not too tight.
9. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends from your yarn. This will give your throw a clean finish.
10. Block Your Throw: To achieve the best shape and size, block your throw to the measurements. This will help even out the stitches and enhance the overall appearance.
