Lalaith Blanket

This beautifully textured and colorful blanket is the perfect one if you love vibrant, warm colors!
I used four different shades of Carnival to make the squares but you can use any other colors to fit your style, the possibilities are endless!
With all of the colors on the palette, I’m sure you’ll have fun making it and I can assure you that you won’t get bored easily!

Special thanks for my testers for their help:
