This pattern is a variation of the classic 6-Day Kid Blanket, worked in the drama-free Tranquility Stripe, which features the same foundational six rows of single crochet, double crochet, and double crochet granny clusters without the characteristic chevrons of the original 6-Day Kid Blanket.

The dreamy Retro Rainbow colored stripes are finished off with an adorable floating clouds border - a variation of #14 from Edie Eckman’s book “Around the Corner Crochet Borders.”
There is also a baby blanket version of this pattern, the 6-Day Retro Rainbow Baby Blanket.

The 6-Day Retro Rainbow Blanket is a resizeable throw-sized blanket made in seven colors. It is crocheted back and forth in straight rows changing color every row. The adorable stripes are finished off with a cute floating clouds edge. Show off a rainbow of color or choose seven colors of your own for the ultimate personalized blanket.
