Rainbow baby blankets

 This winter I've been making rainbows!

I love the simplicity of these baby blankets

 that are very quickly finished. I have chosen 7 shades

 to make a rainbow, with a contrasting background colour

 and made 7 different versions so far! They have been

 so popular on

 Facebook

 and

 Instagram

 that I thought I'd make a permanent record

 of the colour recipes here for you!

 Of course in true Patchwork Heart fashion

 there's been a lot of mug matching going on as you can see here! 

I've been playing with colour recipes for girls,

 colour recipes for boys, neutrals that should suit all tastes,

 pastels, brights and more muted tones,

 so I'm hoping there will be something here to please all!

If you are new to crochet 

then a granny square baby blanket is a perfect beginners project.

You can follow my 

granny square tutorial

and learn how I make my blankets so perfectly square!

When you've completed the square to the size that you want add a 

simple edging

 and bingo your blanket complete!

All the blankets are made in

 Stylecraft Special DK

 and I have used a 3.5mm hook

 (but you need to use whatever suits your tension.

 The recommended size on the ball band is 4mm).

You need 2 balls of the background colour

 and small amounts of the 7 colours.

 My blankets are approximately 60cm square.

You can now find these rainbow baby blankets for sale in my Etsy shop!

 Here are the colour recipes underneath each photo:

1. Lipstick, spice, saffron, pistachio, aster, plum and magenta

 on a parchment background.

2. Fondant, shrimp, citron, pistachio, aspen, bluebell and wisteria

 on a soft peach background.

3. Candyfloss, apricot, lemon, spring green, sherbet, wisteria and clematis

on a white background.

4. Pomegranate,blush, saffron, pistachio, aspen, wisteria and magenta 

on a cream background.

5. Lipstick, spice, saffron, kelly green, aster, plum and magenta

on a grey background.

6. Claret, tomato, mustard, kelly green, turquoise, plum and magenta

on a petrol (blue) background

Here is a collage

 to help you compare and choose which to make.

I definitely have a passion for crocheting rainbows,

 now my hook has turned to spotty blankets!

 Keep watching this spring for more spotty creations

 and more colour recipes to entice you!

7. Claret. tomato, mustard cypress, storm blue and grape

 on a teal background

Stylecraft Special DK

 is such a wonderful tool for us crochet addicts

 with a colour palette of over 80 shades to choose from!

I am delighted to announce

 that soon some of these colour recipes will be available in my

 Colour Pack Shop!

Do remember to share your makes in the 

Facebook Group

I love to see what my makes have inspired you to do!

I wish you all lots of colourful hours crocheting rainbows
