| Sunshine & Shadow Throw Pattern by Melody Griffiths |
I finished my Sunshine & Shadow Throw yesterday.
Of course, it is total overcast, gray and dark out today so I tried my best to get some decent photos.
 |
| Joining squares as I go but before all the squares are sewn down. The aqua color in the third round was replaced with soft green (lime). That was fun cutting out the aqua squares and crocheting the lime colored ones back in (HA - NOT!) |
 |
| Stitch in border and edging is just double crochet. Lime colored squares are in place now. |
There is a huge RED square in each border corner!
 |
I followed the pattern....for once I didn't "wing" any of it.
Each of the squares was "joined as you go" in each corner...when all the squares were done I had to sew all the squares together in order for it to lie completely flat. And the pattern tells you to do this.
It has some weight to it...so it should be a warm throw.
I sew my ends in as I go because I can't stand to have a million ends to do at the end of a project.
