This is a fun-to-knit pattern that works from the bottom up in one continuous piece. Have a ball with color choices in each section!
The blanket is customizable in that you can choose not only the length (determined by the number of motifs knit) and your palette, but you can also add stripes between motifs if you so choose.
The blanket takes between 800 and 1,000 yards of yarn, in a variety of colors. The amount of each color depends upon its prominence in the blanket. For the sample blanket, I chose to use blues and purples as a predominant color and used between 400 and 450 yards of the two colors together.
