Rainbow Fields
Bright rainbow colours dance across a field of easy eyelets and delicate garter ridges for a lightweight, delicate blanket. Worked from corner-to-corner, it’s a great project for constant, playful interest.
This blanket is worked from corner-to-corner, increasing two stitches every RS row until half of the colours in the Prismatic mini-mini set are worked, then decreasing two stitches every WS row to the other corner.
The Increase and Decrease patterns are both written (pages 2-3) and charted (page 4) for your preference.
The pattern includes Colour Options for various ways you can work with your mini-mini skeins in this project. The written pattern reflects those variations.
