The Isel Throw is a beautifully weighted lap blanket worked in 100% cotton, offering a soft drape and a satisfyingly substantial feel. A striking combination of colours brings the design to life, while simple stitches—treble and double crochet—keep the project relaxing and approachable.
For added interest, a beginner-friendly inset mosaic section introduces gentle patterning without overwhelming complexity. Using the inset technique means fewer ends to weave in, as colours are worked over two rows and carried neatly up the side of the work.
This pattern is ideal for confident beginners looking to explore colourwork, as well as more experienced crocheters seeking an enjoyable, rhythmic make with a modern finish.
