Stripes & Blocks Scrapghan

 Don't you love stripes?!  I do :)
Worsted weight yarn is one of my favorites, and Bernat Premium Yarn is absolutely my favorite worsted weight for blankets.  I have so much of it..... Not every color, but getting pretty close. The only problem with this yarn... it's the cheapest at Walmart but they don't always have all the colors.
Yarnspirations also carries Bernat Premium, but for WAY more $$ and their shipping rates to Canada are too much for me (I'm a fan of free shipping). 

The Stripes & Blocks Scrapghan pattern will be $2 for 2 days only! (1/3 & 1/4)
No coupon code needed.  Just add it to your cart and the correct price should show up.
This is a quick and easy pattern that will use up a lot of scrap yarn.  Easily adjust to any size blanket.  Use as many or as few colors as you want.

 & HERE ON ETSY

 Thank you to Jax, Kim, Nikki & Martha
for testing the pattern and
creating these beautiful blankets!

 

COLOR TUESDAY

 I have a terrible time putting color together.  It's scary!  So love to look at different color palettes to get ideas.  Have many saved in a folder on my laptop.

Which of these is your favorite?

I like: Coastal Crush, Blue Waters, Bahamian Bash, Lime Twist & Orchid Crush, though they all look great :)
