Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Foundation
Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 150 stitches. This will be the foundation of your throw.
2. Row 1
In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, *chain 1, skip the next chain, and make a dc in the next chain; repeat from * across the entire row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2
Start by chaining 3 (this counts as your first dc). Make a dc in the first chain-1 space from Row 1. Then, *chain 1, skip the next dc, and make a dc in the next chain-1 space; repeat from * across the row, ending with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Rows 3-50
For the next 48 rows, repeat Row 2. To create the sunset gradient effect, change colors every 10 rows. You can choose to transition from deep orange to soft pink and lavender, mimicking the colors of a sunset.
5. Edging
Once you have completed all 50 rows, it's time to add the edging. With Color A (your chosen deep orange), single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire throw. Make sure to work 3 sc in each corner to maintain the shape. After you finish the edging, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends.
Final Touches
Your Sunset Waves Crochet Throw should now measure approximately 50 inches by 60 inches, showcasing a beautiful gradient of sunset colors with a wave-like texture. Enjoy your cozy, handmade piece!
