how to make this throw from scarves
i have been looking for a chunky knitted throw for a while but they are so expensive, there is one i really like in laura ashley but its £120 and i just cant justify that, so when i made the scarve cushion i realised i could make a throw as well, so i bought 5 scarves which were marked down to £2.90 each. then i used my sewing machine and stitched them all together side by side. and the finished throw is just like the one i love but for a fraction of the price. how thrifty?
above laura ashley throw, and below my thrifty knock off
