Optical illusion meets geometry in this stunning throw, assembled from four separate garter-stitch squares knit on the diagnonal with three-color stripes. I’ts crocheted together with a slip stitch.

TIPS: The central square is formed by lining up the corner triangles of the individually knit blocks.

Use a circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches.

Uses 10 skeins #90007 (Sweet Cream); 4 skeins #90105 (Country Blue); 4 skeins #90531 (Country Red)
