Picot-Edge Mohair Throw (in 2 gauges) Pattern
The Design
You might recognize the humble knitted dishcloth pattern (original author unknown)–we borrowed the bobbly picot edge from one of our favorite baby blanket patterns and scaled it up. When the knitting's this simple, it's all in the yarn. So choose something yummy!
