The Easy Beginner Striped Throw is the ultimate learn to crochet pattern. Stitched up in an array of beginner stitches (sc, hdc, dc, tr, and dtr), this throw will not only introduce you to easy stitches, but give you lots of practice too!
Stripes of cozy, fuzzy yarn make this a cozy but lightweight blanket and it is finished off beautifully with fun tassels!

Finishing:
Weave in all ends. Add a tassel to each corner of the blanket using yarn leftovers. For each tassel, I did 40 wraps of yarn around all 4 fingers. If you have never made a tassel, check out the video where I show you step by step how to both make and attach them.
