Framework (Crochet)

"Inspiration comes from many places," muses Temple. "This throw is loosely based on an openwork cement support I saw holding up a friend's front porch. While I chose a warm color palette and decided to orient each block the same way, you can go crazy with your own color selections, or orient the blocks differently to create pools of color. You can even hit the stash and use up all your scraps for the interior colors as long as you use one neutral color for the framework to hold it all together visually." We think that if Frank Lloyd Wright had crocheted, he might have designed this too. Comes with full text directions as well as a most comprehensive colour chart. Use an H/8/5mm hook; gauge not too critical, but pattern calls for 12 sts and 8 rows = 4"/10cm in dc; American crochet terminology.
