PATTERN NOTES
Don’t be fooled by the cool colors – this contemporary throw is just the thing to curl up under as you watch the snow pile up outside. The graphic lines create the illusion of an arrow that is broken up by bold garter stripes. The visually striking color changes are the result of intarsia – a technique that breaks up the repetition of an otherwise simple project.

The Illusion Throw is worked with intarsia. When switching to a new color, bring the old color up and around the new color to prevent any holes.
