Notes:
- Beginning ch-3 counts as a dc
- When changing colors, do so in the last step of the last stitch of the row before the color change
- For stripes or the ripple effect, consider working color sections of 2 or 4 rows to allow you to carry your yarn up the edge of the throw instead of fastening off each color
