This throw is showcasing lovely texture by using a simple pattern, 3 different kinds of yarn and 2 different hook sizes. It is lovely to say so myself and I am still playing with the idea of joining the squares with the flat braid pattern.
These 3 squares are hooked in cotton and the stone shows the texture of the cotton-bamboo mix
I buy my yarn from Maryna Fouche in Pretoria. Hop over to the great I love pom-poms blog and the Facebook Craft Share page both hosted by talented Cornel Strydom for fellow hooker, Maryna's details.
