This stunning blanket pattern by Anna Nilsson is even more colorful than the rainbow. This eye-catcher was crocheted from 109 colors of Scheepjes Catona – each color only in one row. From the idea for a blanket, it became a bedspread, however you can easily modify this pattern to create any size of crochet project.
Choosing Colors for a Smooth Gradient
The secret behind the blanket’s stunning appearance lies in its smooth color transitions. When using Scheepjes Catona, you can mimic Anna’s method by crocheting one row in each color, giving every shade a moment to shine. The yarn is lightweight and has a lovely sheen, making it perfect for gradient work.
How To Adjust the Size of the Catona Rainbow Blanket
This crochet throw pattern is easy to tweak, letting you make the blanket wider or longer based on your needs. To widen it, add more foundation chains in multiples that fit the stitch pattern. If you need a longer blanket, just keep crocheting more rows until you reach the desired length.
For a baby blanket or lapghan, you can cut down on the number of colors or reduce the repeats. On the other hand, for a king-size bedspread, you might need extra yarn to keep the full gradient effect going.
Stitches Used In This Blanket Pattern
If you’re wondering whether you will be able to make this blanket project, I have good news for you. The pattern uses a simple stitch repeat including just chains and double crochets. This means that this project is not only easy to tackle but also very quick to complete.
