Crochet Fireside Throw Blanket

"This crochet fireside throw blanket will look so beautiful this fall. The colors remind me of an autumn sunset or a warm fire burning in the fireplace. I love to use crochet items that are useful to help bring the colors of the season into my home decor. Have you ever stood in the yarn store or in your yarn stash and let your yarn tell you what your next project will be? I do that often. Sometimes, I will have a project that I plan on doing; look through my yarn stash, and end up making something completely different. Seems crazy, right? At times, when digging through the yarn, a color combination will jump out at me and gives me inspiration. I was in the store a few weeks ago buying groceries and somehow I ended up standing in front of the yarn! Oops! Well, this Caron Simply Soft Sunset Autumn yarn jumped out at me. I thought the colors were not extremely appealing on their own in the yarn package; however, I thought how lovely they would look paired with off white yarn. "
