Fireside Foliage Throw Crochet Kit

Fireside Foliage is an autumn throw built from one simple leaf motif, crocheted in three color mixes and trimmed with a coordinating multicolor yarn. Herrschners rates it intermediate.

The kit has the Herrschners Supreme yarn (100% acrylic, #4 worsted), the instructions, a yarn needle, a clear zippered storage bag and a label for personalizing the finished throw. It finishes at 45 x 60 inches (114 x 165 cm).

Because the throw is built from separate leaves, it's an easy project to pick up and put down. You can finish a motif in one sitting and join them all at the end, so it fits around a busy week.

Who it's for

• A motif project once granny squares feel easy
• A seasonal throw for fall and Thanksgiving
• Carry-along crochet: one small motif at a time
• A handmade gift, with the label already included

Making it

Bring a US H-8 (5 mm) hook; it isn't included. Make a few leaves in each color mix before you commit, so you can check the motifs come out the same size. Worsted acrylic is forgiving and easy to rip back, which helps while you learn the leaf.

Looking after it

Follow the care label on the ball bands in the kit. Store it in the zippered bag between sessions to keep the colors sorted.
