Frozen Falls Crochet Throw

No doubt about it, quilts make a house a home.

But when quilts and crochet throws intermingle,

homey is elevated to cozy.

This one is from the Winter 2013 issue of Love of Crochet.

It's called Frozen Falls and I thought the

Martha Stewart Extra Soft Wool Blend yarn

in Igloo was the perfect frozen color to pair with the pattern.

It is such a soft yarn and when combined with this stitch pattern,

makes for a beautifully, soft, drapey throw.

One feature that I've never stitched before is the reverse crochet around the edge.

The pattern instructs to work a reverse single crochet around the throw.

In my excitement to finish up this project, I wasn't paying close attention,

and I ended up crocheting a reverse double crochet.

Of course, it was more time consuming than a reverse single crochet would have been,

but I am pleased with the end result.

My daughter commented that the edging finishes it off like binding on a quilt.

Some You Tube videos proved to be helpful in learning this new technique.

I love how it completes the throw.

Have you ever done reverse crochet?

I had never even heard of it until I stitched this pattern.

Happy crocheting, my friends!
