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. I’ve included images of various pride flag colours on the left along with the colourway names at the bottom of this description.

Holding three strands together, switch out one at a time to generate the smooth continuous colour shift from corner to corner. The blanket is worked in Garter Stitch on the bias. Three strands of yarn are held together throughout. This pattern has no charts.
