River Rock Throw (Knit Pattern)

Note: This is a listing for the printable PDF file only, not for a printed copy or the finished garment.

Design

River Rock was inspired by the Umatilla River that flows through parts of Washington and Oregon. The rocky bottom is visible through the rushing river water. Stones and tangled tree limbs decorate the water’s edge. Imagine cozying up beneath this throw and drifting off to the soothing sound of a nearby river.
This throw features a wide range of cable patterns from diamond moss, simple 4-stitch cables, bobbles and honeycomb stitch. Consider this a sampler stitch throw of sorts. This perfect blend of stitch patterns resets itself every 24 rows. This pattern is charted and includes written instructions.
