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

Gauge

6 sc = 4”

8 rows = 6"

Abbreviations

Notes:

Fasten off the yarn after every colour change

Row 1: ( RS) ch 91, sc in 2nd ch from the hook, sc in each stitch (90 sts)

Row 2-64: ch 1, turn. Sc in each st (90 sts)

Join accent colur.

Border is worked in rounds without turing. Do NOT join with sl st after completing the rounds.

Round 1: ch 1, turn, sc in each st, (sc-ch1-sc) in 1st corner, add sc evenly across the rows, (sc-ch1-sc) in 2nd corner, sc in each stitch, (sc-ch1-sc) in 3rd corner, add sc evenly across the rows, (sc-ch1-sc) in 4th corner.
