Chunky throw

I made this for my sister's sofa bed

    About

    My sister wanted a throw for her sofa bed. We measured up and I designed a pattern in squares (so I could knit on the train). You could use the design with different weights and different combinations of squares if you wanted to make it in a different size. The super chunky yarn knitted up really quickly.
    I sewed the squares together in rows and then sewed the rows together.
    I finished off with a few tassels along the bottom and top.

      This is beautiful, just what I'm looking for.
      Where can I get a copy, how much and is it a written pattern

        I just used a chart I'm afraid! (picture 2 shows charts for 4 squares knitted individually and picture 3 is the whole thing). Each square is 29 sts by 40 rows and knitted in stocking stitch.
        On the chart the dots represent purled stitches on a knit row and knitted stitches on a purl row.
        If you aren't used to reading a chart the knit rows read from right to left and purl rows left to right.
