The sound of the hum of the furnace. The silence of the chair beside you. Introducing a reflective Christmas Throw designed to meditate and remember someone in your life who is missing this Christmas.
Inspired by Red Heart Soft yarn, I wanted to take a personal journey to remember my times with someone who shaped my life. Remembering the way they laughed, remembering the items we struggled with, and remembering that they were instrumental to becoming the person I am today.
Pattern is scheduled to release Summer / Fall 2024.
This throw is similar, but not the same as the Gingerbread Afghan. Deviation of colouring has happened, and the blanket isn't as big as I limited myself to use 7 colours and only 1 ball for each. I will share that below.

The Empty Chair Crochet Throw
This falls into the lapghan category of being only 47" in diameter. Using a 5.5 mm / I/9 crochet hook. Colours of Red Heart Soft, 141 g/5 oz, 234 meters/256 yards.
A - Off White - 1 Ball
B - Rose Blush - 1 Ball
C - Turquoise - 1 Ball
D - Really Red - 1 Ball
E - Wheat - 1 Ball
F - Guacamole - 1 Ball

This throw has deep textures and easy repetition throughout. It converts to a star early in the journey and continues to brand out to more points as you crochet it.
It has a fresh take on Christmas colours, with the traditional red, green, and white thrown in for good measure.
