Rainbow Catherine Wheel Blanket
Also available as a free pattern . The paid PDF adds photo tutorials, crochet diagrams, and a print-friendly version.
The smooth rainbow gradient of the Catherine Wheels is enough to bring a smile to your face. New colours keep popping up and incorporating these into the blanket is an absolute delight. As an added bonus, you barely have to weave in any ends!

Customer reviews
Lovely pattern, easy to make!
I enjoy working on one of Kirsten's patterns. They are clearly written and easy to follow. Pictures and a chart included. This pattern also has workings for different widths therefore different lengths. I am not using the same whirl but one I had in my stash (blackcurrant squeeze me and ice whirlettes.)
