Instructions

I would rate this as a advanced beginner crocheter.

You will need to know how to make the tassels as they are NOT included in the pattern!

Complete crochet instructions are included for the approx 36" L x 30" W (without tassels) blanket.

You can make several with the amount of yarn given in the pattern! Great project to use up your stash yarn!

Difficulty:

Materials

acrylic yarn

What was your inspiration?

Not many things make the heart soar and your face smile than a rainbow! This gorgeous blanket will be loved by any boy or girl! Not your typical, super bright colors but a slightly muted colorway that still is sure to delight!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Pick traditional, primary colors, or, for the more modern mommy, soft creams, chocolates and turquoise!

Shades of all the same color would look terrific too! Five or six shades of blue or pink! Shades of grey and yellows are stunning! The skys the limit!

Add tassels or pom poms to make it extra special!

This blanket is just wonderful. The beautiful bold colours give it an ethnic look. Youve done a great job.

You know, I love a rainbow, but I'm not sure I love primary colors in their original form! Thank you for the kind words!
