Noel Throw Blanket Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

I have always loved the Christmas Carol, The First Noel,

 but never really thought about what the word "Noel" meant.

 So I looked it up in the Dictionary. 

Here is what I Found.

Noel - 

1. A Christmas Carol - The Choir Sang noels during

 the Christmas Season.

2. Christmas - Wished his friends a joyous Noel

A Little FYI -

"English speakers borrowed the word noel from French. 

It can be traced further back to the Latin word natalis, which can mean

 "birthday" as a noun or "of or relating to birth" as an adjective.

 (The English adjective natal has the same meaning and is also

 an offspring of natalis.). Noels were being sung in Latin or French

 for centuries before the word found its way into our language in the

 1800s. The earliest known musical use of noel occurred in the text of a Christmas motet called "Nova vobis gaudia", Which means "New Joys To You"

which was written in the 1400s."

I Think Calling My New Holiday Throw Blanket

 "The Noel Throw Blanket" is A perfect name For it.

Than Name of The Stitch Pattern is  

"The Snap Dragon Shell Stitch Pattern".

I Love The texture of this stitch pattern, as well as 

how easy it is to stitch up.

I designed the throw blanket with Herrschers Holiday

 Pastry Puff Cake Yarn in the Peppermint colorway.

 It has red, white, greens and pink in long stripes.

I really love how it stitched up and looks.

It is a medium (4) weight yarn so any Medium (4)

 yarn will work for this project. 

You do not have to use Holiday colors, it will be lovely

 in any colorway.

The Stitch pattern is a Combination of Shell Stitches and

 Double crochet stitches which makes it a easy pattern

 to stitch up as well as a beautiful stitch combination.
