Instructions
- Check the color sequences. Before crocheting, locate the specified sequence for each marquise motif in the original pattern. Sort or label your yarn so you can identify colors A through I easily.
- Make 84 marquise motifs. Work each motif in its specified color sequence. For every motif, begin with the first color, chain 4, and join the chain to form a ring. Work the motif rounds as instructed, using double crochet and half double crochet stitches and changing colors where specified. Complete all stated rounds for each motif.
- Keep the motifs consistent. Follow the same round instructions and color sequence for each motif in its group. Compare completed pieces as you go. Consistent tension and careful round counting help the motifs match when joined.
- Form 12 strips. Hold the motifs together as directed and work slip stitches across their edges to join them into strips. Keep the pieces aligned while you join. Slip stitches that are pulled too tightly can draw the edges in, so aim for a steady, relaxed tension.
- Assemble the strips. Arrange the 12 strips according to the original Assembly Diagram. Check the motif placement before joining the strips or completing the assembly. The diagram is needed to confirm the layout; the summary instructions do not specify the arrangement.
- Add the edging. Work the pattern’s edging along the unworked edges. Use the original instructions for the edging details, since the stitch pattern and any corner instructions are not included in the available summary.
- Make and attach the tassels. Create tassels using the specified strands and colors, then attach them where the pattern indicates. Follow the original instructions for the number of strands, color combinations, and placement.
- Finish the throw. Trim the tassels to an even, desired length. Use a yarn needle to weave in all loose ends securely, taking care not to pull the fabric out of shape.
Notes
The source summary does not state stitch counts, exact round instructions, joining placement, edging details, or tassel strand quantities, so these should not be guessed. Use the original pattern for each of those details.
