6 hour magic rainbow blanket

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

Wanderlust ribbed beanie

It's a beginner friendly pattern that involves no increases or decreases. Beanie is worked flat in a rectangle, the the sides are sewn together and the top is closed. I have used Nako sports wool bulky yarn which is perfect for winter. It is 25% wool and 75% acrylic yarn, which provides sufficient warmth. In addition to that, wool provides strech and elasticity to the beanie. I would totally recommend wool-acrylic blend or 100% wool yarn for this project, but you can also use acrylic yarn. (Only adult sizes are available for free here on my blog. Paid pdf is available on Ravelry which includes all the sizes from preemie to adult large.) Check out the beanies made by my amazing testers. This cute little boy is a perfect model for this beanie.
