I do love a rainbow, don’t you?

This whole project is worked with a technique that may be new to you. A lot of the stitches are worked into a loop behind the stitch rather than a through a stitch or through a front or back loop. I explain it all clearly with lots of pictures.

It gives a really cool knitted effect. It’s even joined this way.

I also give you a lot of tips along the way to make it look the best it can be.

I designed it as a lap blanket, but I think it makes a lovely shawl when doubled over as you can see in the pictures.

The pattern is available in both UK & US terms :)
