I’m loving that the trend right now is everything rainbow – it makes the unicorn fairy princess 5 year old inside me SO happy.
My son may be almost 1 already (where did that time go?) but he’s already loving his blanket – just look at the smile on that face. Heart. Melted.

My color sequence:

With your first color Ch 47, Sc in 2nd and across, Ch 1, turn (46)
Row 2: Sc across, Ch 1, turn (46)
*-Color change
Row 3-4: Sc across, Ch 1, turn (46)
Repeat from * until you’ve repeated the sequence above or have 48 rows (Basically make 2 rows of Sc in each color above & work the sequence twice!)
*Note: I carry my white yarn up the side of my blanket so that I don’t have as many ends to weave. I don’t carry my colors to avoid tangling because I’m using so many!
-Weave all colored ends
Row 49: Sc in each st around the perimeter of the blanket, work 3 Sc in each corner, sl st to join, finish off and weave ends
