In the next two months, I’ll be going to TWO baby showers, both for baby GIRLS! I am preeeetty excited about it. I am mostly excited for all the newborn baby snuggles I am expecting come Christmas day. Like SO EXCITED. I’m not being very coherent. I just want to cuddle a baby.
The first blanket I made is a Rainbow Ripple blanket in pinks. I looked to my stash for the yarn and was so happy with my selection. I feel like I got a good mix of shades. The color pattern is one that is mentioned in many of the projects, called the “Rule of 5” and inspired directly by THIS beautiful peony blanket. Mama likes pink and black, so I reversed the pattern and went light to dark.
The border starts after Round 33 and is a simple lace round–just V-stitch every third stitch–and a scallop round–alternating SC and scallop into every V-stitch.
Round 34: Slst into next st, Ch 3, sk 2, [(DC, Ch 2, DC) into next st, sk 2] 6 times, (DC, Ch 2, TR, Ch 2, DC) into corner, sk 2, rep between [ ] 6 times, DC in next st, sk 2, *DC in next st, rep between [ ] 6 times, (DC, Ch 2, TR, Ch 2, DC) in corner, sk 2, rep between [ ] 6 times, DC in next st, sk 2; Rep from * around, slst to top of beg ch-3.

Pin It
Omg wow!!what a gorgeous blanket! I love the ombre effect. I’d totally sqeal if someone made that for me lol
haha I pinned it to my wall to take the photos and was like, “daaaamn, I really wanna keep this!” It might be something for me to consider making with my stashed acrylics (I’m kiiind of a sucker for craft store sales).
That is crazy gorgeous!!
That is a great use of color and it is soooo pretty.
Beautiful! Your choice and placement of color are stunning with this pattern!

oh wow, that is a stunning baby blanket, what a lucky little baby that will be!! It’s absolutely beautiful.
OMGosh! I LOVE this blanket! You chose the colors well and laid them out beautifully. I will have to make this one of these days.
This is really beautiful.
What colors did you use for each row? It looks so pretty and I would love to make a beautiful ombre like you did
Thank you for such a striking pattern. I have chosen shades of blue from lightest to darkest.
The pattern was so simple to download. I’m sure the finished product wrapped around my new little grandson will be an eye catcher.

Can you send me a pattern to this I’d love to try this
I’ve seen this pattern but really like your beautiful lacy border choice! The colors and flow are gorgeous! What a special gift!
I love this afghan. And would love to make. But where are rows 1-33?
I know, I would love the pattern for this actual blanket. There’s one for the type of blanket on revelry. Just click the link above that says pattern here but it not for this blanket.
i love that pattern is there any way you send me the pattern
What a beautiful blanket and I love the colour combination, how many rows did you do between each colour change? Is there a written pattern please? Thank you.
beautiful blanket and colors . if i wanted to make this larger, do you suggest just repeating the color combination, or just the darker colors? thanks
I completely agree with your conclusion, but your writing has a technical problem, and I could solve the problem. I suggest you should find the problem in my place. 먹튀검증
