Choosing Colors for Your Rainbow Blanket

Color selection is one of the most exciting parts of making a rainbow sampler blanket! Choose colors that suit your style or theme:

1. Classic Rainbow: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet for a true rainbow look.
2. Pastel Rainbow: Soft pastels that add a light and airy feel to the blanket.
3. Bold and Bright: Use neon or bold primary colors for a statement piece.
4. Muted Tones: Earthy or muted tones for a more subtle and sophisticated rainbow.

Step-by-Step Guide to Crochet a Rainbow Sampler Blanket

Step 1: Plan Your Blanket Size and Pattern

1. Decide on Dimensions: Measure your intended area (e.g., sofa, bed) to determine the length and width of the blanket.
2. Choose Patterns: Select a variety of stitch patterns. Common choices include:
   • Granny Square Stitch
   • Ripple Stitch
   • Shell Stitch
   • Puff Stitch
   • Cable Stitch

Step 2: Create Each Color Section

Each section of the sampler blanket will feature a different color and stitch pattern, giving it a unique texture and feel.

1. Start with Your First Color: Choose your first color, then crochet the first section in your chosen stitch pattern.
2. Continue with Additional Sections: Switch colors for each section, maintaining consistency in the length or number of rows.
3. Experiment with New Stitches: Try new patterns for each color. For instance, use a double crochet in one section and a treble crochet in the next.

Step 3: Joining Sections Together

1. Join As You Go: Crochet the sections together as you complete each one, or crochet them separately and seam them afterward.
2. Slip Stitch or Whip Stitch: Use slip stitches to join sections for a smooth, seamless appearance. Alternatively, use whip stitching if you want the join to be more decorative.

Step 4: Add a Border

Adding a border around your rainbow sampler blanket gives it a finished, cohesive look.

1. Simple Single Crochet Border: This creates a clean edge without detracting from the colorful design.
2. Picot or Shell Border: For a more decorative finish, try adding a shell stitch or picot border.
3. Color Transition Border: Work the border in stripes, alternating the colors used in the blanket.

Step 5: Final Touches

1. Weave in Loose Ends: Use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends for a polished look.
2. Block Your Blanket: Blocking helps smooth and set the stitches, ensuring each section lies flat.
