This gorgeous, bright lollipop rainbow blanket uses colour changing Lollipop yarn to create the beautiful rainbow effect.
This pattern is really easy to work up, and there’s only a few ends to sew in once you’ve finished the project.

There are two sizes of blanket you can choose to make. Pick the quick, smaller project (which uses just one cake) to make the perfect baby comforter for travelling out and about with:
Or choose the larger size (which uses two cakes) for a lovely, bright receiving blanket.
The bobbles add an attractive detail that’s also a tactile element for babies and children, and there are full instructions on how you make the bobbles provided in the pattern.

I have designed it to be beginner friendly;
…there is a photo tutorial included to help you with the bobble stitch which is crocheted as you make the blanket and therefore won’t shed or fall off.
Materials
6mm hook (my pretty Rainbow hook can be found here)
Size 4 medium weight/aran yarn, Hobbii Lollipop yarn, in Boise (17)
Sizes
There are two options for the size of this blanket:
200g (1 cake) will give a comforter/moses basket sized blanket: approximately 60cm (23 ½ inches) x 57cm (22 ½ inches)
400g (2 cakes) will give a larger, receiving sized blanket: approximately 94cm (37inches) x 84cm (33inches)
Tension
11st and 7 rows in tr (UK terminology) to 10cm/4in using 6mm hook or size needed to obtain tension.

A pattern than works up really quickly, pretty colour changes without a thousand ends to weave in, and I’m right on gauge! One very happy #crocheter over here!!

Hi! Yesterday I bought your beautiful blanket pattern at Hobbii and wanted to start immediately so the present will be finished soon. I started with the gauge but did it yet 4 times and reached now a hook number 9, instead of the recommended 6 and it’s still not right!!! Normally I need at most only one size bigger, but never 4!!! I did a gauge with single crochets and even with a 9 hook I have 13,5 stitches, not 11 as it’s written in the pattern. I already asked the Hobbii-customer’s service for help but they just asked me, if I blocked already the gauge?!? Never did this before and don’t think it’s the normal way… I’m eager to start but don’t know which hook to use. I don’t want the blanket to be too small!
HEEEEELPPPPPP, please! :0)
Best regards, Viola

Hello! thanks for your message. The gauge needs to be done with double crochet (US terminology) hopefully that will sort it but please feel free to email me if you need any more help- melucrochet@gmail.com thanks, Mel 🙂
