Round Rainbow Ripple Star Blankie :)

[auntbubbels]

Wow - its gorgeous and the colors are so vibrant -

[head2toepets2go]

wow - I love it!! Everytime I make that pattern for someone they love it too .... but I did want to let you know that I cut & pasted how you did your colours so I could try it next time - even printed the picture! I love the way y'all give me new ideas for a pattern!!

 

Great job!

Thank you, everyone. You are too kind.

 

Fran, if you do follow it, the nice thing about it is that the white row is always a small shell row which helps you remember where you are. I'd like to say I planned it out that way, but I just got lucky.

Great blanket! The colors are so vivid and I love the star shape. Nicely done.

[MrsD]

Those really are striking colors and you did a beautiful job!

this is a beautiful afghan .. you do great work!! Thank you for posting the pattern link .. as I just found out my sister is having a girl .. and I've been wanting to make her something special .. I will be doing mine in pastel green, yellow and lavendar .. those are the colors that she's chosen for the nursery.

That is such an awesome looking afghan! I'm with those who said they can never get enough of looking at these! One of these days I'm going to get one done, it's been on my "to-do" list seemingly forever!

I love your blanket! I've only done this pattern in pastels so far but your brights sure make it beautiful.

That turned out so nice!

I forgot to mention there's an error in the pattern on round 3. It should be:

Ch 3, *sk one st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next st, repeat from * end with dc in base of ch 3, ch 2, join to top of ch 3. (The * is in the wrong place in the pattern and if you follow it that way, you'll be setting up 24 points instead of 12)

 

I didn't do row 3 that way, though. I didn't like how hole-y it was, so I did [dc in next st, (dc, ch2, dc) in next stitch] instead. This replaced the "skip one st" with a dc and filled it in nicely without affecting the rest of the pattern.

I can't enlarge the picture, but the blanket looks fab! Nice to see some baby things in vibrant colours for a change, rather than all those pale pinks/blues.

I just realized that making a second blanket in the same colours (but used in the reverse order) would be a great way to make blankets for TWINS, or siblings - that way they match but aren't identical!! If it's possible, I now love that pattern even more!!

 

Thanks again for sharing,

Fran

Its gorgeous!!!

 

I'm making one at the moment, in similar colours, but with back instead of white. It may just become my newest fav afghan pattern!!

 

yours is stunning, well done.

[Chrome Kitty]

One more thing . . .

 

I posted this in a different thread to help someone who was having trouble with this afghan and I thought those of who mentioned making one of these might find it helpful. It's a row by row count of how many dcs should be on each side of the points. The small shell rounds are in blue. Find it here.

I adore your colors

[ChainOFools]

Very pretty! A striking afghan

[MyGirlFriday]

This is a lovely baby ghan!! Love the colors too!!

Thanks for taking the time to share the link to the pattern, the corrections and the stitch count too!

Found something to work on during my trip!!!
