You will love the woven texture of this lavender throw! This throw is worked in one piece, working with six balls of yarn at one time.

lavender throw

I love lavender.  It’s one of my favourite flowers.  It can be found in a variety of colours from whites and pinks to purples.  I love the scent.  And each year I find myself watching the lavender bushes that run along our property for the first sign of spring buds.  Two of the bushes bloom early, while the other a few weeks later, which means I am blessed by the sight and scent for weeks.  I can’t wait!

In selecting the colours for this throw, I used these lavender bushes as my inspiration.  The Lavender Throw is worked (as one piece) in blocks of differing shade of purple, which are further accented by a fisherman’s white.  It is made with a worsted weight yarn, a great weight for the changing seasons.

As mentioned above, you will love the woven texture of this lavender throw! It is worked in one piece, working with six balls of yarn at one time.  It takes a little time to get the hang of working and keeping the balls from tangling, but you will soon work out a system that works best for you.  I work with the balls laid out in front of me, and then rotate them as my work progresses.

It is constructed with the moss stitch, a series of single crochet and chain stitches.  The bold blocks of colour make for endless colour combinations.

      Thank you 🙂

  2. What if I wanted to make it as a baby blanket. What would the multiples be.

  3. Dorothy Hodges says:

    I have searched and searched for the written directions to one tough scrubbie. Where is it. I am exhausted.

  4. Hi! I just bought the pattern from Ralvery. I was wondering what the multiples are if I wanted to make it bigger? I am wanting to make this in shades of blue for my son who is 6’9″.

  5. Hi! I just bought this pattern through Ralvery. I was wondering what the multiples would be so I could make it bigger? I would like to make this in shades of blue for my son who is 6’9″.

    1. RichTexturesCrochet says:

      Hello Angela, Thank you for buying the pattern! To change the size simply work an even number of stitches for your starting chain.

  6. Does not tell you the size of the wool to use

    1. RichTexturesCrochet says:

      Hello Carolyn, Vanna’s Choice yarn by Lion Brand is a worsted (medium/4) weight yarn.

  7. Chantel Potter says:

    Hi! So I am working this blanket right now and I am realizing the last square is bigger than the others…I am clearly doing something wrong and I was wondering what it could be? Im a newby looking for advice..thanks in advance!

    1. RichTexturesCrochet says:

      It could be that you’re stitch count was off a few stitches so that the last square had a few extra chains. If you would like, feel free to send a photo to [email protected] and I can take a closer look for you 🙂

  8. Hello. This is a beautiful blanket. I seen you had 16 things of yarn total. Did you have to get more yarn? Or did the yarn total of 16 make the whole blanket? I want to make sure before I start doing this blanket.

    1. RichTexturesCrochet says:

      Hi, yes I used a total of 16 balls of the Vanna’s Choice to make the whole blanket including the fringe.

  9. Linda Tann says:

    I would love to make this in shades of green with the white for my daughter. I am a beginner and I don’t know how to make it larger. Please advise. Thank you.

  10. How did you secure the loose ends when changing colors on the foundation row?

    1. RichTexturesCrochet says:

      Whenever I change colours I complete the previous stitch in the new colour. Ie the the stitch prior to the change, with the colour A I insert my hook, yo and draw up a loop. I drop colour A, pick up colour B, place it on my hook and pull through both loops. At the end of the project I will go back a weave in my ends

  11. Sylvia Cobia says:

    What if I wanted to add 2 more blocks? Instead of 6 blocks add 2 more to make it bigger. How many chains should I start with. I was trying to do the math but still haven’t got it..
    This is beautiful..

    Thank You!

  12. The pattern states sc, but the video shown is not done in sc…??

    1. RichTexturesCrochet says:

      The pattern is written in US terms (single crochet) – in UK terms it would be the double crochet 🙂

  13. Carol Root says:

    I love this blanket. Looks so cuddly . Only have one question. Would like to know the brand of your crochet hook, please.

  14. Carolynn Lassonde says:

    Made this blanket, a bit bigger, as a Christmas present. It is absolutely gorgeous!

  15. Good morning, I came across this pattern and instantly fell in love with it. I started it today and ì can’t seem to get the beginning count right. I have chained 174 (I have triple counted) sc in the 3rd chain from hook and followed your video step by step. Am I correct in saying that there should be 14 sc in each color? If yes, then I have been doing it right but I end up with
    extra stitches after I have made 14 sc in the last color. Thank you in advance for your time.
