The Free Adaptation

See "The Details" tab for size, yarn, needle, and gauge information.

Refer to Churchmouse at Home 'Picot Edge Mohair Throw' pattern for complete instructions.

Cast on: Make two pieces as follows:

With yarn held single, using long-tail cast-on method, cast on 4 sts. Knit 1 row.

Following pattern directions for plain edge version, work increase rows until sides measure 18"/46cm (or to match pillow form dimensions). Note: Be sure to count the number of stitches on the needle before you begin decreasing so you can match your second piece exactly.

Work decrease rows per pattern directions.

Finishing: Hold the two pieces together so that the YO spaces match up along the sides. Thread darning needle with 2 strands of yarn; sew three sides together with a running stitch, going in and out of the YO spaces; insert pillow form and complete fourth side.

Tassels (optional): Make four tassels, as follows:

For each tassel, cut two 18" yarn ties. Place one tie across 4 x 4"/10 x 10cm piece of cardboard. Wrap yarn around cardboard and over tie approx. 35 times. Use yarn tie to tie bundle tightly at one end; slide bundle off cardboard. Wrap second tie several times around bundle approx. ¾"/2cm from tied end; fasten off and bury ends. Cut loops and trim to even up.

Attach securely to corners.
