Lapland Throw

Lapland Lap Throw

After the warmest September on record (!) it's finally fall here on the wet coast....yay! In celebration of all yarns chunky, all leaves crunchy, and all light dappled... I give you the Lapland Throw recipe. I call it a recipe because I'm hoping that no two throws will look alike and that you spice it up as you wish making colour changes at your whim or none at all!

The following pattern repeat will give you a throw of 6 squares across.  You will be working with multiples of 10+2 if you're looking to change that up. Just continue until your throw is as long as you would like it to be. Mine ended up being 17 squares in length (64.5" long and 26.5 " wide).

I used:

1 ball of Briggs & Little Country Roving - black
4 balls of Briggs & Little Country Roving - brown
US 11 needles (I always use circular)


Loosely cast on 62 stitches

Knit 1 row (RS)
Purl 1 row

PATTERN

Row 1 (RS): K
Row 2: P
Row 3: k2, *p8, k2; rep from *
Row 4: p2, *k8, p2; rep from *
Row 5: k2, *p2, k4, p2, k2; rep from *
Row 6: p2, *k2, p4, k2, p2; rep from *
Rows 7 and 9: Rep Row 5
Rows 8 and 10: Rep Row 6
Row 11: Rep Row 3
Row 12: Rep Row 4
Row 13: Rep Row 1
Row 14: Rep Row 2

Once you've achieved your desired length, on the final row of squares omit rows 13 and 14 and bind of loosely.

Stay warm!
