Sign-ups launching July 3, 2024, and the stitch along starts July 18, 2024 for four weeks.

The packaging of Chips Ahoy features stunning red paired with blue and white for good measure. Of course, the cookies added the other colours, and we added a few more to balance it.
The colours pay with each other in a way that makes things pop out. I felt like I was decorating cookies with some pipework while crocheting this.
As the throw gets bigger, more colours appear, such as the two tinges of green to bring in the evergreen freshness.
The throw will start off as round and then transition to a star... then transition back to a circle by the end. It will sit flat for you, even before blocking.
We will have the colour breakdown closer to the stitch-along dates for you. Stay tuned for more information at the end of June.
Using 5.5 mm / I/9 Hook.
This is a project meant to decorate during festive times. Of course, you can colour it however you wish, but I thought this was an excellent combination of yarn to play with.
Stay tuned this summer with our friends at Yarnspirations. The pattern, along with matching tutorials and crochet diagrams, will be delivered over four weeks.
