Red Flower Hand Block-Printed Fleece-Lined Snuggle Throw

This hand block-printed snuggle throw sets neat rows of little red fan-shaped flowers across a cream cotton front, each bloom with a dark blue centre and a small olive green stem. Turn it over and the back is a soft, plain cream fleece lining in polyester, so you get the crisp character of printed cotton on one side and something cosy against you on the other. The edges are finished with a dark binding picked out in tiny white spots, which frames the pattern nicely. It measures 120cm wide and 160cm long, and at around half a centimetre thick it is light enough to fold over an arm.

Its generous proportions make it ideal for wrapping round your shoulders on the sofa, tucking over your knees in an armchair or laying across the foot of a bed. The red flower print is small and repeating, so it sits happily alongside plain cushions in a living room, bedroom or reading corner, and the cream ground keeps it fresh rather than heavy. It is just as handy folded in a basket beside the sofa, ready for chilly evenings whenever someone wants to curl up with a book or a film.

The front is 100% cotton and the back is 100% polyester, and the whole throw is machine washable on a 30°C standard cycle. Do not bleach, tumble dry or dry clean it; it can be ironed, which keeps the cotton side looking crisp. Between washes, a good shake and an airing by an open window keep it fresh. For styling, fold it in thirds over the back of a sofa so a strip of the cream lining shows along the edge, or roll it and tie it with ribbon for a cheerful present that anyone who loves pattern will reach for again and again.
