Just three colours yield seven distinct blended hues in this simple but effective gradient blanket. Working up fast with chunky needles, it makes a great baby gift; and in a cozy washable wool blend, it will last long enough to be passed down to the next baby.
The Continuation Blanket is a great canvas to display your LGBTQ+ pride. Included are 16 pride flag colourways with yarn suggestions and a colouring page to plan your own unique blanket.
