Great Lakes Throw PATTERN
The Great Lakes Throw is a super simple blanket anyone can whip up QUICK! It's made with super bulky weight Cascade Cotton Puff and knits on 15mm/US19 needles for maximum satisfaction. The yarn is a soft, machine-washable cotton tube with a springy polyfil core, giving it body and ease of use (it's also allergy friendly and vegan). The pattern is a simple, elegant, reversable rib, suitable for all knitters from beginners on up. Sizes range from a baby blanket to king-sized bed. Each ball of Cascade Cotton Puff is 200g/7.05oz, so while this technically isn't a 'weighted blanket', it has some weight to it!
