C2C Desert Days Chair Throw

C2C Desert Days Chair Throw

Wrap yourself in the warmth of the desert with the C2C Desert Days Chair Throw! Featuring majestic saguaro cacti scattered across a dreamy desert landscape, this pattern brings the beauty of wide-open skies, drifting clouds, and a glowing sun to life through crochet. Whether you love the rugged charm of the Southwest or simply want to add a unique, nature-inspired touch to your home, this throw is the perfect blend of cozy and artistic.

The Basics:

• Skill Level: Intermediate (Managing frequent color changes with multiple colors in the same row and knowledge of C2C/Diagonal Box Stitch is required. If you are unfamiliar with C2C or need a brush up, links to some of my favorite tutorials are included in the PDF).

• Yarn Requirements: Approximately 2000-2200 yards of worsted weight yarn (208 yards/100g each) in 9 colors.

• Finished Size: About 38" x 47" – perfect for cuddling in your favorite chair or as a thoughtful gift for someone who uses a wheelchair.

Why You’ll Love It:

• 🌵 Desert-Inspired Beauty – Saguaro cacti, rolling clouds, and a glowing sun create a stunning landscape.
