While I love the “classic” Navy and White stripe “Nautical” look—I also think this blanket would be adorable with a variety of different colours. Keep the cream coloured base and add a coral colour for a fun and fresh vibe, or change out the navy with a subtle green or taupe for a more neutral and soft look—or simply replace Navy with a soft pink or purple for a stunning baby girl blanket. The options are truly endless and the Shine Worsted yarn used for this blanket has a wide variety of shades suitable to your every need. Colours I’ve got my eye on include: Clarity, Pistachio, Grapefruit, Blush, Hydrangea, Wisteria and Platinum!

One of my favourite things to do, is take a favourite pattern of mine and put a chunky spin on it. I love creating these chunky yarn blankets because they’re very quick to work up, simple and stunning! Wool Ease Thick & Quick is my favourite super chunky yarn but you can use any yarn that you prefer! This blanket is an absolute joy to work up. Only 2 round squares that go by so fast. The result is a blanket the whole family can curl up under and I’ve provided 9 additional colour charts to help you find the perfect match!
