Spring Rainbow Baby Blanket Pattern.

I made this gorgeous blanket for my baby granddaughter Maisy to keep- her cosy in her new pushchair. It was made entirely from my yarn stash some of the colours I’ve had a while. All the yarns I have used all have a high percentage of merino wool, So that you can make a blanket like mine I have listed all my shades below in several different branded yarns. However there are some shades that are discontinued and no longer available so I have listed alternate shades when this happens to get the best match possible. I have also added some of my mini skeins of hand dyed yarn .

Spring Rainbow blanket pattern notes:The main part of the blanket is large granny square with 33 rounds of traditional granny square stripes. To keep your square from twisting and corners neat, I flipped over my blanket after each round alternating from RS and WS rounds,
I used a 4mm hook and the colour sequence guide below, to make one large granny square.
My border was 2 rounds of htr (US hdc) herringbone stitch and 1 round of extended dc (US sc) both of these stitches there a videos of on my Instagram page. I then finished it off with a round of dc (US sc) a pretty shell edging which I’ll share again on my reel and update the details here afterwards.

Rounds 1- 33 Following the colour sequence below, work rounds 1-33 working as a traditional granny square with 3tr, in each sp and (3tr, ch1, 3tr,) in each corner sp, ss to join each round to beg ch-3.

I have used a mixture of yarn for my blanket, as it was all made from merino yarn in my stash it may not be possible to give the precise match as not all yarn is available any more and you may like to use up colours you already have or duplicate shades that I have given below. I hope you love making my blanket and if you want to add handy dyed yarn like me there there’s a variety of mini skeins in my Etsy shop many in lucky dip bags so you can use a variety of shades https://www.etsy.com/shop/SewHappyCreative
