Snowbank Throw
Design 
This is a supersized, extended version of my Snow in April design.
A wide center panel of interlocking cables is framed by a section of simple lace and long double-braided cables. Long bands of slipped stitches hug the garter edges, helping this throw lay nice and flat. Worsted weight yarn is held double for instant gratification.
A quick note on doubling yarn: I tend to lean towards using this method for most of my throws due to the fact that worsted weight skeins usually have generous yardage. This means far fewer ends to weave in at the end of your project. Bulky weight skeins tend to have very minimal yardage. But feel free to sub out a bulky yarn if you wish!
Yarn 
1,700 yards/1,600 meters of Worsted/Aran weight yarn (held double-stranded) Yarn shown is Universal Yarn’s Uptown Worsted in “Cream”. 
Alternatively, you can use 850 yards/777 meters of Super Bulky weight yarn, held single-stranded.
