Crochet pattern instructions to make a beautiful rainbow blanket. The bright colours really pop against the graphite background. This bright and happy crochet pattern is a pleasure to make with clear instructions written in English UK crochet terms (US terms are listed next to the UK terms in the abbreviations section).

The PDF includes step by step instructions with a photo section to guide you, and includes a full list of all yarn and equipment used in the project. Instructions include how to make a single bed sized blanket (172 cm x 91 cm) or lap throw / baby blanket (91 cm x 91 cm), plus guidance is given for how you can adapt the pattern to make a bespoke sized blanket suitable to your own personal needs. The pattern also includes two border options, a neat border edge or a tassel option.

The pattern uses DK (light worsted) yarn and a 4 mm hook. I have used Stylecraft Special DK (100% Acrylic, 100g (3.5oz), DK) but you could use other suitable DK weight yarn brands.

You can also change which colours you use, white and rainbow colours would look great or how about using different shades of a contrasting colour such as a range of blues, or greens, or pinks and purples.
