Aran Isle Throw

Melt into this soft green cable crochet pattern during a long weekend. The Aran Isle Throw features lovely aisles of cables and the crochet bobble stitch, which give this blanket texture and warmth. Make this free crochet pattern in the color that you find most relaxing.

This crochet blanket pattern just screams "weekend away". Let yourself sit back, relax, and crochet one of the comfiest Red Heart Yarn patterns out there. This crochet cable pattern is made in one piece, so there aren't a lot of ends to weave in.

I absolutely love this pattern. Looks stunning in blue at the foot of my king-size bed. I have also made it in off-white and green as in the pattern.

This Aran Isle Throw will look great when displayed on a tan colored leather sofa in your living room or study. It seems very simple but the stitches used here are a challenge to make. I think this will also look great in bright or earthy colors.

I have finished the body of this throw which I really like but I am confused with corners in edging is it 3 single cr. in one single cr. for each corner

Why in the world do the editors of this site include patterns with missing instructions? Why should we have to go to another site to get the "real deal"??? Ridiculous!!

Hi Denver, This pattern is reproduced (with permission) from Red Heart's website. I just double checked and the only thing that was copied over here from their site was some stitch abbreviations, which I have now added. Otherwise, these two patterns are identical and complete. Thanks! Julia, editor for AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns
