A blanket kit comes with the yarn and the pattern, so all the color planning is done for you. Choose the Accoloration reversible gradient throw in Lanalpaca, the Baby Bloom gradient baby blanket kit, or the Ikat Throw. Crocheters, look for the Six Day Beach House blanket kit in Noro Tsubame.
Picking your blanket project
Think about who it's for and how long you want to spend. A baby blanket is a smaller project and a thoughtful gift. A throw takes longer and rewards you with something cozy for the couch. Check the finished size, stitch pattern, and needle or hook size on each listing. Blankets don't need to fit, so gauge is less critical than for a sweater, but a quick swatch will tell you if you have enough yarn and like the fabric.
