With its calming repetition and eye-catching design, it’s a pattern that welcomes crocheters of all skill levels and encourages you to stitch something truly special one hopeful round at a time. About The Blanket Rainbows are an ever popular symbol of hope in the world’s current climate, so I took inspiration from that and also the amazing crochet community (symbolised by the circle) to create this vivid and vibrant rainbow crochet blanket. This stunning granny square blanket is a beginner friendly crochet pattern and will look amazing no matter what colours you choose! I chose to take inspiration from a pastel rainbow (of course!), and I just adore how it’s turned out. However, you can choose a selection of your favourite colours and play around with your granny square. You can mix and match or do them all the same.

In the border, I think you meant to say color E for row two… I just worked around with the colored yarn I’m using and realized those stitches should be white Reply Jackie Piazza June 19, 2020 at 12:45 am Thank you Reply Hanna June 30, 2020 at 6:26 pm Hello! Thank you for the nice pattern! Just wondering about the amount for E- colour biggest size at lovecraft is said to be 6 skeins, your mail said 8 😉 I also wonder if there should be a link to buy the pattern from your website….. “The following sizes can be found in the ad-free PDF, printable pattern that can be found on my website HERE or on LoveCrafts HERE.” as only Lovecraft is a link at the moment. Best Regards! Reply Steph March 20, 2021 at 9:39 pm Hi! I’m giving this a go now, and I feel as though the picture of your squares look different between rounds 5 & 6 vs what mine look like; almost as if your round 6 is “higher” than round 5, if that makes sense. I played around a bit with making round 6 in the BLO, and I’m the FLO, but neither seemed to produce the same effect. Am I just imagining it all together? 🙂 Or is there an additional step that would make the difference? Thank you!! Reply Erin March 16, 2022 at 8:04 pm Thank you for this pattern! I’m looking forwards to making! Reply Josie September 8, 2024 at 9:17 pm Doing circle of hope square for boggy creek. Love it. Herrscheners neon colors. Will show picture when done.
