Knitting & Crocheting

Mary Maxim Colour Burst Throw

15 years ago

My mother is a devoted knitter and a good crocheter and when I fell in love with this throw she agreed to try to make it for me if I could find the pattern. She already had a great verigated yarn for it and doesn't want to buy the kit. If anybody has this pattern and is willing to share it or knows where I can get it without the wool will you please post.

There's the star afghan in Knitter's magazine Summer 2008
if she wants to knit it
free crochet one at
http://project-angel-kisses.150m.com/roundripple.html
try a google search for round ripple afghan, likely you'll
come up with others.
If it's the gradual color change you're after then knit/crochet with 2 strands. Work with 2 the same color for awhile, then change 1 strand to the next color, and so on, unless you just use different gradual shades ofa color of yarn.

Trust me, the Mary Maxim pattern is exactly the same as the pattern in the link qiviut gave you.

As an aside, I have been hoping someone would come up with the knit version and was delighted when I got the Summer 2008 Knitter's issue. Can't wait to try this one.
