I have been itching to make a fall color throw for years. The design just never quite got there, never quite hit on what it should be, other than in pretty fall colors.
The design finally fell into place in my mind, it needed to be a Granny Rectangle. I have been wanting to make a throw with the A Better Granny Rectangle technique, and have not done that. Two birds and all that…
Another way to get those itchy fingers actually to work is to get a new crochet hook, this one is a Furl’s Odyssey. So far, I am loving it. Nicely made. They do need to put the size on it somewhere though, that is a necessity it is lacking. Since I only have the one, I think it will be okay. No, it won’t, I will forget. It is size H, there, it is here for posterity and absentmindedness (like I will remember where, exactly I posted the size!!).
And now I have actually started! I think I have it to a pleasing (to me) proportion for a throw. I will post the actual pattern at a future time. For now, a photo will have to do.
I love the autumn colours and the granny rectangle is a nice change too! My last blanket was a giant granny square!

These they only showed in black, so without a size marked on them there would be no way to tell.

There is a link above in the post to “A Better Granny Rectangle”, which is how it was started. My post here is the finished throw: https://crochetagain.com/2015/10/18/granny-rectangle-throw/

I love these throws! I’ve finished the one with the coloured border and can’t wait to start the other one. Can you tell me the order of the colours you used? I love how yours looks and want mine to look the same. 😊
Thank you!
