GEMMA BLANKET

Using a clever combination of single and double crochet stitches, experiment with color in this simple but addictive throw.

ASSIGNMENT

Experiment with color to find a combination that really POPs for you! Don't just think color wheel opposites, think about the weight of different colors and how using them in varying quantities may affect your final fabric.

Here's an example that pairs a dark, heavy main color with bright pops of rainbow colors!
