Waves Of Jewel Throw Blanket Crochet Pattern

Waves of Jewel Throw Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

This is my comforter set for our bedroom.

My husband picked it out.

I think he did a great job, And I really like it.

But, it needed a pop of color.

I decided I needed a Blanket 

To Throw on my bed, 

for when I am reading or 

crocheting in bed.

My Mother gave me this pillow 

a few years ago, and I used it as 

my inspiration for the Throw Blanket.

My Bedroom colors are Claret Red, 

Brown and Beige

The Pattern is a basic Wave pattern, 

using only 3 colors.

It measures approximately 48 X 72 inches,

of course you can add more rows if you want it longer.

or more waves if you want it wider.
