When the world gives you Storms, make rainbows.
Attic24’s Neat Ripple Blanket and size 4.5mm hook.
Mostly using Stylecraft Special Double Knit (SSDK) but having to add other colours from different ranges to get the effect my 10 year old grandson, Big Bro, wants.
I am making a blanket for each of my grandchildren – this is the 8th and last one.
I show 6 of them here.
The 7th was one made for Big Sis, she also wanted Rainbow colours.
The pattern is Amanzi by Jen Tyler, but I did my own variation on the edge.
Colour order for the Neat Ripple Rainbow (not the Amanzi) for the first 30 rows.
There are 2 rows of each colour:
Turquoise SSDK
Azure – Hayfield Bonus DK, Extra Value (0824)
Petrol – James C Brett or Geraardsbergen (2011) Scheepjes Colour Crafter (blue)
Empire SSDK
Teal SSDK
Green SSDK
Grass Green SSDK
Sunshine SSDK
Bright Orange – James C Brett
Matador SSDK
Fuchsia Purple SSDK
Raspberry SSDK
Orchid – King Cole Pricewise DK
Purple – King Cole Pricewise DK
Royal SSDK

As requested by my Grandchildren – they all have very clear ideas about what they want, which is great for me.

They are so lovely. Your blog makes me want to do better at crochet. I think this might be one of the things I set myself to achieve before my next zero birthday.

Aww – lovely to know Dawn. I love the way we bloggers inspire one another. ❤
My crochet leapt ahead by making the Mandala Madness and following the excellent video tutorials.
Good luck with your goals.

Lovely! I’m just about to finish another Attic 24 stripey blanket myself and then I must stop. I have too many blankets and not enough (i.e. none) grandchildren.

Crochet blankets are so lovely to snuggle up under though aren’t they.
I make a nest of them for myself in the evenings.
I have even started making them for the children of my friends, and then there are nieces and nephews ….. addicted!
