This Throw is worked in one piece, flat. The color chart is shown in sections, each section contains 6 blocks of color. Follow the number of stitches and rows for each block of color according to the written pattern for the size Blanket you are making. The color blocks are shown in the chart with the right-side rows read from right to left and the wrong-side rows read from left to right. Change colors using the intarsia method. Work up to the final pull through of the last stitch of a color, then complete the stitch with the new color. Use a separate ball of yarn for each block of color.
