I made this blanket for my daughter who loves rainbows and unicorns. It works up really quickly. The pattern is very simple and beginner friendly. I like simple and short stitches, without any holes with super bulky chenile yarns, that's why I chose single crochet stitch for this blanket. This blanket is cozy, warm, snuggly and without any holes. I have used 8 colours for rainbow sequence and light cream as accent. There are total 16 stripes (2 stripes of each colour). Each stripe has 4 rows of 90 single crochets. That means there are total 64 rows. Materials Super bulky yarn (in 8 rainbow sequence colours and cream) like bernat blanket yarn [total 840 yards (105 yards of each colour) plus 140 yards of accent colour]. 10 mm crochet hook Pair of scissors Yarn needle with large eye OR 5 mm hook to weave in ends Gauge 6 sc = 4” 8 rows = 6" Abbreviations US terminology ch = chain sc = single crochet sl st = slip stitch RS = right side Size: Blanket measures 71" by
