Delta Sigma Theta Chunky Throw Pattern

The Delta Sigma Theta Chunky Throw Pattern features a portrait of a Black woman with a full head of curls, worked in warm brown and black, gathered under a large red bow tied at the top of her head. She wears bold red glasses and gold hoop earrings, her skin is knitted in soft camel with burgundy lips, and two small red hearts float on either side of her face.

Below the portrait sit the Greek letters of Delta Sigma Theta in sorority red, standing out clean and graphic against the white background. Worked in stockinette colorwork with jumbo yarn, this graphic knit blanket turns a simple graphghan chart into a keepsake throw in sorority colors.

Finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The pattern is worked in stockinette stitch, and you can follow the colorwork chart, the row-by-row written instructions, or the color blocks, whichever feels most comfortable for you.

What Is Included in the Delta Sigma Theta Chunky Throw Pattern

The Delta Sigma Theta Chunky Throw Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 stitches, divided into sections for easy printing, full row-by-row written instructions, and an easy-to-follow color block version.

Directional arrows on every row show which way to work, so you avoid reading a row in reverse and ending up with a mirrored design. Always read each row from left to right, using the arrow only for knitting direction. Before you start, take time to check your gauge, as it directly affects the finished size of your blanket.
