I knew this throw was going to be named for one of the amazing beaches along the New England coastline, because it just feels like a blanket that you would find folded up on the end of the bed in a beach house. It has such a timeless and classic look, like a fisherman’s sweater.

The Yarn!
This pattern uses Big Twist Tweed held double. It is a medium weight category 4 acrylic yarn. It is soft and comes in several lovely colors, but the white (which reads a little more off-white/ecru), was the perfect neutral for what I was looking for. Being an acrylic yarn, the throw will be easy to care for. If you do not like acrylic yarns, that is of course ok, use your favorite medium weight fiber in your favorite color. A blanket is made to be used, not just décor.
This blanket is made holding the yarn double, along with the larger hook it grows quickly so the blanket won’t be one of those “never-ending” projects. The stitch used makes for a soft and squishy fabric, exactly what you want for snuggling on the couch.
You will also need:
A size L hook and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
I included two sizes in the pattern a Throw which measures 40” x 35.5” and a Lapghan which measures 40” x 57”.
Post your finished throw!
