Notes

This is the second time I’ve made this blanket. I decided to go with Rainbow colors. I had some left over skeins from my other rainbow blanket. The only color I bought new was the soft pink. I used so very little of each skein I’m wondering If I can’t make another blanket out of what I have remaining.

I finally figured out the multiple so I plan on making this much bigger eventually.

I am doing a rainbow and white border with a shell final edging to look like clouds. Lets see.

ETA: Cloud border uses at least two skeins. I used 1 full skein of white and a small amount of another. The border is just single crochets ( single crochet, chain 2, single crochet in the corner), followed by a ruffle border. I did a single crochet, in the next stitch I did 3 double crochets all the way around, in the corner I did 5 single crochets. All the sides worked out except the first one, I did skip the last single crochet in the corner then did the 5 double crochets, after that all the sides worked out without needing to skip any stitches. If you want a bigger ruffle do 5 double crochets instead of 3 in each shell stitch.
