The Winter Cottage Throw – A Free Pattern

The Winter Cottage Throw is an easy crochet pattern. This crochet blanket is made with a super bulky weight yarn.

When it’s -30 degrees Celsius with over 20 centimetres of snow on the ground, who doesn’t love to curl up under a thick, warm blanket after a long day?

After finishing this blanket a little while ago, it quickly became my go to reading blanket. Even while I was working on it, once the WIP (work in progress) got large enough, I enjoyed the warmth working under it. My daughter would also come a sit beside me, also curling up under its weight.

About the Design:

The blanket has great drape. It has great weight, texture and a classic style. It is a simple and clean enough design so that you can put it down and pick up again without worrying about losing your place in the pattern.

The Yarn:

For this design I used 10 Caron Sprinkle Cakes. They are a super bulky weight (6) yarn with a wool/acrylic blend yarn and a tweed look and are available at Michaels Stores. I love the wool blends for their warmth and breathability (wool also repels moisture).

If you are unable to find the Caron Sprinkle Cakes, you may substitute this yarn for any Super Bulky Weight Yarn such as this Wool-Ease Thick and Quick yarn by Lion Brand.

I used a 10 mm hook which allowed me to keep a looser tension while working with a dense stitch. I finished off the design adding a great tassel fringe to both ends.

To make Tassels:

Cut 16 in lengths of yarn. I used two strands of yarn for each tassel.

Place tassels along the two ends of the throw beginning in the first stitch and then continuing in every second stitch. Once all tassels are attached, trim tassels to make an even fringe.
