Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in the following colors:
  • Forest Green
  • Moss
  • Bark Brown
• Hook: Size L (8.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in moss stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Foundation Chain

Begin by making a foundation chain of 120 stitches using the forest green yarn. Ensure your chain is not twisted before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2: First Row

In the first row, follow these instructions:

1. In the 4th chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc).
2. Now, *chain 1, skip the next chain, and make a single crochet in the next chain; repeat from * across the entire row.
3. Once you reach the end of the row, turn your work around.

Step 3: Second Row

For the second row, do the following:

1. Chain 2 (this counts as your first single crochet).
2. Skip the first single crochet you made in the previous row.
3. In the next chain-1 space, make a single crochet.
4. Then, chain 1, skip the next single crochet; repeat from * across the row.
5. End the row with a single crochet in the top of the turning chain from the previous row, then turn your work.

Step 4: Repeat Rows

Continue to repeat Row 2, alternating colors every 10 rows. Start with the moss yarn after the initial forest green, then switch to bark brown. Keep repeating until your throw measures approximately 60 inches in length.

Step 5: Finishing Up

Once you have reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your throw a clean and polished look.

Step 6: Optional Fringe

If you want to add a rustic touch, consider adding a fringe along the short edges of the throw. Use the forest green, moss, and bark brown yarns in alternating colors for the fringe to enhance the textured look of your throw.
