You are strongly encouraged to develop your own color combinations and row repeats as you grow more comfortable in your own abilities. Don’t be afraid to try something funky! Crochet is art, and art is what you make it! However, if you’d like to make the blanket as pictured, you’ll need the following yarn. I used Yarn Bee “Soft & Sleek DK” Low-Pill Fiber 100% Acrylic yarn because it is saturated with color, uniquely mottled by batch, light weight, soft, machine washable, and affordable. I designed this blanket as a commission for a newborn baby, and I felt these qualities were most important considerations.
