11. Japandi Neutral Block Throw
What This Idea Means
Blending Japanese wabi-sabi simplicity with Scandinavian coziness, this blanket features clean color-blocked panels in calm, organic neutral tones.
How to Make It
Divide the blanket into wide vertical or horizontal color blocks using alpaca-blend yarn in shades of warm sand, charcoal, raw cream, and soft clay. Work using the half-double crochet third-loop-only (camel stitch) method to create a knit-like horizontal ribbing texture across the entire piece.
Tips and Variations
- Clean color transitions are key; carry your unused yarn neatly along the edge when changing colors.
- Keep tension relaxed to ensure the camel stitch ribbing remains soft and flexible.
- Drape neatly folded over a minimalist wooden ladder or lounge chair.
