Saga Throw by Åsa Buchta
Berroco Lanas Light,
colors 78102 Steel Cut Oats & 78130 Driftwood
Cozy evenings at home call for a warm, knit throw. Knit in Berroco Lanas Light, Saga features a modern, plaid-inspired design that is achieved by holding two strands of yarn together. Knit on a size US 8 needle, the blanket is knit entirely in garter stitch for a beautiful texture. It is finished with a traditional fringe that never goes out of style.
The throw involves using a half-intarsia technique to achieve the color design, but no worries, as it is a lot easier than it seems. You can do it!
The pattern tells you which two colors to hold together & then when it comes time to switch, you simply do a single twist of the two strands together, then drop one of the colors & pick up the other. That little twist ensures that there are no gaps in your color changes!
Delivering beautiful stitch definition, Lanas Light is a 2-ply, sport weight yarn spun from 100% South American wool. Ideal for stranded colorwork, cables, textured stitches & lace, the yarn possesses the durability, shape & luster of natural wool.
Purchase 13 balls of Berroco Lanas light for the project & receive the Saga pattern free.
