Crochet Fringed Throw
Lion Brand® Homespun®
GAUGE:
10 sts = 4" [10 cm] BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
LOOP STITCH Step 1 Using the index finger on the left hand to control the lp size (which should be approximately 1½"), hold yarn over finger 1½" behind work; insert the hook in st, hook both strands of lp just made, draw these strands through st.
Step 2 Wrap the supply yarn over the hook (yo).
Step 3 Draw through all lps on hook-1 lp st made.
NOTES:
Loop Stitch (lp st) is a variation of single crochet (sc) and is
worked on the wrong-side rows because the lps form at the back of
the fabric.
Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends,
knit or
crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.

Crochet Fringed Throw Reviewed by Pam Stoneburg on 2012-01-10
I'm so glad I found this pattern on your website. I have made no less than a dozen of these afghans as gifts. It is easy, economical, and SOOOO cozy. Made one for my sister and her three teenagers would fight over it! Went looking for the yarn wrapper I have carefully kept for the past several years and it was nowhere to be found.
