6-Day Retro Rainbow Baby Blanket
A free version is also available.
This pattern is a variation of the 6-Day Kid Blanket (6DKB). It is comprised of the same six rows of single crochet, double crochet, and double crochet “granny” clusters, but it does not chevron. This drama-free 6DKB stripe version is called the Tranquility stripe. The texture is both easy to work up and visually appealing in dreamy retro rainbow colors.
The floating clouds border is a variation of #14 from Edie Eckman’s book “Around the Corner Crochet Borders.” (affiliate)
