I feel like we’re all going to be staying home this winter even more than normal, and that feeling makes me want to jazz up my space with some new knits and other projects.
I love this Heirloom Chevron Throw from Fancy Tiger Crafts. Use six bold colors, an ombre or neutrals to suit your decor.
The pattern was designed by Joceyln Tunney and is available in a lap size (35 x 50 inches) or a large snuggling size (52 by 74 inches). It’s worked in worsted weight yarn on size 10 US knitting needles.
You can grab the free pattern from the Fancy Tiger Crafts website.

In “How to Knit a Stash Afghan” on Spruce Crafts, you write: “Once you’ve knit and bound off your stash afghan, you’ll just have a hundred little ends to weave in. No problem, right? If you can’t stand ends, cast on twice as many stitches, join your work in the round and work as established (knitting every row will now get you stockinette stitch). Then all your ends will be inside and you won’t have to worry about weaving them in.” I hate weaving in ends, but if you join your work in the round, you get a tube, right? Could you please explain how to do this? Thanks!!!
Yes, I suggested casting on twice as many stitches as you normally would, so that would make a “tube” you flatten out to make a double-thickness blanket. Then if you want you can be lazy and not weave in the ends that are all on the inside of the tube. (Of course you still *should* weave in your ends, but I’ll never tell.)
