From the pattern:

Throw is worked in 5 Strips, with 5 different Stitch patterns per Strip (see diagram and text).

Gauge may vary slightly with the various Stitch patterns used for the Throw. Gauge is not critical for the overall piece, but it is important to maintain a consistent width on each Strip.

Stitch counts vary in individual Stitch patterns to help maintain a consistent width for each Strip.

Each block in each Strip is separated by 4 rows of Garter stitch; Garter st is worked with smallest (size 6) needles to maintain consistent width.

Cable Blocks (7, 10, 16 and 19) are worked using largest (size 9) needles to maintain consistent width; all other Blocks are worked with medium (size 8) needles.

Most Blocks have edge sts worked in St st throughout to make seaming easier (see Charts and text).

Borders are worked back and forth in rows; circular needle is used to accommodate large number of sts.
