Yarn
I choose Lion Brand's Mandala Ombre for this crochet project. The yarn has lots of different colors without having to change skeins.
I love Lion Brand yarns, and the ombre effect is stunning. When I saw the yarn, just had to try it! The colors are beautiful and vibrant, and the yarn is super soft.
I picked the color Happy because of it bright fun colors. The yarn is a soft gauge 4 yarn. This yarn is easy to work with.

Pattern Tips
You can make a larger or smaller a blanket by using an even number for the chain. I started the pattern with 1 row of single crochet.
You place the single & double crochet in the single crochet from the row before for the entire pattern.
The yarn can have sections that are short. You can either skip that section or use another part of the skein that matches to finish the rows. If you want complete rows of the same color you will need another skein of yarn.
