Notes
1. Throw is made from 12 squares arranged as shown in Assembly Diagram and joined together. Border is worked in joined rounds.
2. Each square is made in a 2-layer colorwork technique in joined rounds with right side facing at all times.
3. Last loop of each round is dropped after round is joined; next color is returned to the hook to begin next round. Colors are alternated as this sequence is repeated. Do not fasten off until instructed.

Square 1 (make 6 – 2 each with A and B, A and C, and A and D)
With A, ch 4; join with slip st in first ch to from a ring.

With A, ch 4; join with slip st in first ch to from a ring.
Round 1 (right side): Ch 3 (counts as first dc here and throughout) 11 dc in ring; join with slip st in top of beginning ch—12 dc.
At the end of each round, drop and enlarge the loop on the hook so that it doesn’t unravel as you work the next round. If desired, place loop on a stitch marker. Be sure that A yarn is front of work when not in use and 2nd-color yarn is behind work when not in use.
Round 2: Ch 4 (counts as first dc, ch 1), dc in same st as join, [ch 2, skip next st, (dc, ch 1, dc) in next st] 5 times, ch 2; join with slip st in 3rd ch of beginning ch—12 dc, 6 ch-1 spaces, and 6 ch-2 spaces worked with A.
