The Ultimate Book Lover Throw: Crocheting the Grand Library
How we engineered a library of books into cozy crochet stitches for literature enthusiasts everywhere.
- Technique & Style: Overlay mosaic crochet worked from right to left on right-side rows only, alternating Color A (BLOsc) and Color B (FLOdc drop stitches).
- Zero Ends to Weave In: All side fringe cut tails are completely encased inside a seamless double envelope border worked in the round.
- Included Guides: Full row-by-row written instructions in standard US terms paired with marked high-resolution printable stitch charts.
- Yarn & Gauge: Uses an effortless 50/50 yardage split between Color A and Color B, easily customizable for DK #3, Worsted #4, or Bulky #5 weights.
