A lovely diagonal pattern beautifully finished off with perfect border that is going to be perfect in our home exactly as it is! Besides the really great pattern the colors are lovely. As far as I can tell from reading the pattern this throw is crocheted in one large piece and then the borders are worked on to that piece. It is beautiful and I can not wait to get started!

Such a gorgeous throw pattern and my favorite throw and afghan patterns are those that are worked in strips or squares which are then joined together because it is so simple to amend the size of the finished piece to bigger or smaller. And those colors! So soft and beautiful and snuggly looking just making me want to cuddle under it.

This throw is so unique, it is done in granny squares in a diagonal manner then bordered in very simple edging design. I have not tried doing a diagonal pattern but should I decide to start one, I guess it would be this Autumn Harvest Striped Throw. It is so lovely. The colors are so cool, so muted in earthly tones which are my favorite. The finished throw gives you a relaxed feeling, so refreshing and calming. This will definitely be my one of my next projects in 2017. Can't wait.
