Stitch guide

blo… back loop only
ch… chain
dc … double crochet
dc2tog … 2 dc closed together
RS … right side
sc… single crochet
slst… slip stitch
st… stitch
WS … wrong side

Notes

Starting ch3 counts as a dc. Change colours while completing the last stitch of the row and leave a long tail.

The letter in parenthesis is the colour with which to crochet that (those) row(s).

To make the throw larger, add sts in increments of 14. Adding sts will require more yarn.
