Kalispell Throw

The Kalispell Throw is an amazing winter project and will keep your legs cozy as you make it. Be prepared: This velvet yarn is the softest, most luscious yarn you’ll ever work with. Rows of cluster stitches add another layer of fun to this project, as do the fuzzy tassels in each corner.
