NOTES

The throw is knit flat in rows on circular knitting needles to accomodate the large number of stitches.

Due to the variegation of the yarn, 2 skeins are alternated every 2 rows throughout the whole throw to diversify the colors and prevent color pooling/flashing.

A small Seed Stitch border frames the throw along the bottom, top, and both edges.

The stitch pattern is a 12-row repeat, so if you want to add or subtract length, add or subtract 12 rows at a time.

If you want to add width, the pattern is a multiple of 6+1.
