However I wanted to make it a six colour rainbow blanket for a loved one for Christmas. So I did deviate somewhat from the pattern making the stripes wider. It was easy enough to follow the original pattern & repeat some of the rows. I also crocheted the border a bit different using what is called 'linen stitch'.
I did each of the stripes 6 rows & repeating the block of 6 colours 4 times using the following colours from Deramores:
Stylecraft Special DK - Magenta
Stylecraft Special DK - Royal
Stylecraft Special DK - Green
Stylecraft Special DK - Jaffa
Stylecraft Special DK - Sunshine
Stylecraft Special DK - Matador
The border all the above colours plus:-
Stylecraft Special DK - White
I enjoyed the challenge of attempting something new and grateful to people who design and share their patterns. I am very pleased with how it turned out and just love using Stylecraft Special DK it is so soft and a pleasure to crochet with.
