Rainbow Dunes is designed to add a touch of cheerfulness and color to the nursery. It is knitted with our own hand-dyed yarns, making each blanket unique. The colors are selected to create a playful and harmonious whole, and with your own choice of colors, you can make it perfect for your baby (room).

The blanket is knitted using the Fisherman’s rib stitch (no purls), which provides a thick, resilient texture, perfect for keeping your little one warm. Knitted with double strands, this blanket has a delightful thickness and warmth without being too heavy.

The blanket is knitted with a double strand of 4-ply/fingering weight yarn. I chose to combine a natural skein with minimal speckles (undyed can also be used) with 8 different colors. The combination of the two yarns softens the colors. However, if you prefer a blanket with deep colors, you can opt for a brighter solid color or use a double strand of a single color.

The pattern is very easy to adjust for thinner or thicker yarns, and you can also customize the size of the blanket to your liking. Make it as long and as wide as you want, but always use an odd number of stitches for the Fisherman’s rib section.
