Rainbow Stripes Beginner Crochet Blanket

The bold, chunky stripes of this crochet blanket pattern are so eye-catching. This Rainbow Stripes Beginner Crochet Blanket captures the brightest colors of the rainbow and hooks them into the perfect piece. This afghan blanket is crocheted loosely, so it gaps easily for little fingers to play with or for a lighter feel. If you want to adjust it, however, the pattern will still work with a thicker yarn and a smaller crochet hook for more density. This beginner crochet pattern is so easy and only uses the most basic stitches, so it's the perfect blanket to start out with as a newbie!
