Pattern/Technique: Self drafted. Cast on 100 stitches in a waste color, then knit 38 rows of each rainbow panel.
Materials: US 10.5 knitting needle
1 skein each of Knit Picks Chroma Twist Bulky in the following colors: Red Velvet, Get your Neon, Weather Vane, Hollyhock, Lupine, Surf’s Up, Lake Front
Lessons/Notes: I was originally going to edge this blanket in a dark grey, but opted to not do that out of concern that the edging yarn might differentially stretch/shrink vs. the main blanket with usage and washing.
Because I cast on with waste yarn and used the entire ball of red for the first section, I ended up using some waste Get Your Neon to bind off along the red section. It’s a little different tonally than Red Velvet because it includes orange, but still looked pretty nice.
What I'd do differently: The color of this yarn is lovely, but in the future I would probably not use a handwash yarn for a baby blanket given its impracticalities for new parents.
Care: Hand wash, dry flat
