Did you know the constellation, Orion, is the most colorful constellation in the night sky? This blanket reminds me of cozy campfire nights by the fire with your favorite people and clear night skies full of stars. Relax with a repetitive stitch repeat and watch the colorful marled yarn create exciting color changes with every row. All yarn tails become fringe, leaving you with zero ends to weave in. You’ll love this blanket!

The Orion Blanket uses 12 cakes of Lion Brand Ferris Wheel. Ferris Wheel is a light Worsted Weight yarn, so any other DK weight yarn could also be a good alternative. I used:

  • 6 skeins of Summer Day
  • 2 skeins of Buttercup
  • 2 skeins of Cherry on Top
  • 2 skeins of Pink Marmalade Or mix and match your own choices!
