Choosing Your Yarn

I used Caron Big Cakes, which eliminates the ends to weave in and the need to create a color palette.  For this blanket I used 4 Caron Cakes. Any worsted weight yarn will work for this pattern. I love using self-striping yarn for projects like this. Self-striping yarn, as its name suggests, automatically creates stripes when crocheted. It comes packaged with different colors spun together in a single ball or skein. Each shade runs a certain length before transitioning to the next, thus forming stripes in the finished crochet work.

Reasons to try self-striping yarn:

1. Saves time and effort – Instead of manually changing colors by attaching new strands of yarn, self-striping yarn does the job for you. This drastically reduces the time spent on color transitions, also minimizing the number of yarn tails to weave in at the end of the project.
2. Offers a variety of colors – Self-striping yarn is available in a plethora of color combinations. It can elevate your crochet projects by incorporating multiple hues that blend seamlessly into one another, thus creating an interesting visual appeal.
3. Enhances creativity – Using self-striping yarn sparks innovation. It is exciting to witness how different colorations emerge and intermingle. This spontaneous display of colors can result in unique and surprising patterns, adding an element of wonder to your crochet journey.
4. Eliminates color matching dilemmas – Picking the right color combinations can be tricky. Self-striping yarn takes away those concerns by providing pre-matched color palettes, minimizing the risk of color clashes.
5. Convenient for beginners –For those new to crocheting, using self-striping yarn is a great starting point. It allows them to focus on mastering the stitches without worrying about the intricacy of color transitions.
