This was a gift for my mother-in-law's birthday. The pattern comes from straw.com and it doubles cotton chenille with novelty yarn, alternating every few rows. I just picked them at random and finished off with the softest yarns since those would be around the neck and face. It's very easy to do, but the tassels took forever to tie. However, the tassels make the whole thing feel very luxurious and look beautiful.

Yarn 2: Crystal Palace Cotton Chenille Dark Red 3425 (2 skeins)
Yarn 3: Numei Cotton Chenille Lacquer Red (2 skeins)
