Nevern Throw

Discover the beauty of the Great Cross of St Brynach, also known as the Nevern Cross, with our intricate Nevern Throw knitting pattern. This stunning 13-foot tall stone cross, found in Pembrokeshire, Wales, dates back to the tenth or eleventh century and features exquisite Celtic knots and patterns. Our design captures the essence of this historic art, reflected brilliantly in the large stranded colorwork throw.

The Nevern Throw is meticulously crafted using stranded squares, which are worked flat and separately. This modular approach not only allows for portability—making it a perfect project for knitters on the go—but also invites creative options for motif positioning within your throw. You'll enjoy knitting twenty-four squares showcasing six distinct designs. Each design comes with a reversed colorway twin, giving you a total of three unique patterns to mix and match. These charming squares are then elegantly bound together with a soft garter stitch border, elevating the overall visual appeal.

Please note that some colors used in our sample may no longer be available. However, we’ve thoughtfully provided substitution suggestions in the Kit Builder below, ensuring you can still achieve a beautiful and cohesive look for your Nevern Throw.

Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this project offers a fulfilling challenge that beautifully marries history and artistry. Embrace your creativity and celebrate the rich heritage of Celtic design with the Nevern Throw knitting pattern today!
