The Unwind Throw Blanket is a fun C2C crochet project. It has a bold look with neat shapes and lines. The design takes its look from wall art.
You make four panels, then join them to form one large throw. Each panel is quick and easy to work on.
Use thick yarn to help the work grow fast. Join the panels with single crochet stitches. The seams help hide yarn ends, so you have less to weave in.
You can turn or move the panels to try a new look. This lets you make a cozy throw with your own style.

Section 2: Panel Assembly
1. Lay the four panels side by side. Use this order: A, B, C, and D. You can flip or turn each panel to make a fun design.
2. Place Panel A and Panel B with the right sides face to face. This will keep the seams on the back.
3. Join the yarn at the base corner. Make sure the hook goes through both panels.
4. Work single crochet (sc) along the edge. Make about 3 sc in the side of each C2C block.
5. Lay the short yarn ends along the edge. Work sc over them as you go. This will hold the ends in place.
6. Join Panels B and C in the same way. Then join Panels C and D. Keep all seams on the same side.
Section 3: Finishing
Use a yarn needle to tuck in loose yarn ends at the edge of the blanket.
Optional: Add one row of single crochet all around the edge to hide any yarn ends that still show.
