This cozy throw pulls a modern palette from nature that will make any room fun and comfortable.

The Dappled Skies Throw is constructed working with only 1 color at a time with minimal seaming. 8 long strips are knit, on the bias, in stripes, then sewn together, making this a great throw to knit on the go without carrying around a lot of bulk.
