A lovely rainbow blanket that’s not just for children! Made in a large adult size, perfect for cosying up in comfort on grey days.
It uses chunky yarn, so it works up quickly and is very satisfying to make despite its size. Large enough to use as a sofa throw or an adult bed blanket, it’s both practical and cosy, combining a tasteful, plain base with pops of colour and texture to keep things interesting.
A step-by-step photo guide is included to help you create the bobbles, so you can enjoy the making process just as much as the finished blanket.
