I love color. I LIVE for color. I usually buy yarn for its colors/aesthetics and rarely for a project. This blanket was a way for me to combine all my favorite colors into one big blanket. Every stitch is a new color combination and a work of art; it makes me so happy to see how each of the colors blend into the blanket. The seed stitches make for an extra squishy and textured fabric to keep you cozy.

This blanket it knit in seed stitches using 3 or 5 strands of fingering weight yarn held together. It is a recipe to use up scraps of fingering weight yarn and to play and experiment with colors.
