Most Beautiful Knitted Rainbow Blanket Patterns

Hi yarnies! If you’re looking for a project to work on that keeps it simple but doesn’t get too drab, why not enjoy making a blanket?

Whether it’s for yourself or for someone you love, you just never go wrong with that idea.

These 8 Knitted Rainbow Blanket Patterns are going to help you keep things bright, fun, and cheerful no matter how you decide to make them.

Why not start a classic? There is a rainbow blanket that just uses fun large stripes of every color. It’s a good choice for those who prefer symmetry and simplicity in the doing where the color stripes do all of the talking.

For a variation on that, there is a similar rainbow knit blanket pattern that has waves to it, and each color is blocked by a white line to help draw the eye from swell to swell.

This is great for display and for comfort. 

You can also enjoy several that create vertical rainbow stripes, and some blend chunky cable knit details right in.

This is as beautiful on your couch as it is in a nursery or even a teen’s bedroom. It’ll be sophisticated and elegant but still bright and modern in its rainbow style.

If you want to knit a rainbow blanket that gets a little wild, go for a technicolor fringe one!

This one blends all the colors together in thin and tight rows, and it helps you bring in every color with one glance! The fringe is great for some casual touches, too.

There is a fun honeycomb style that is great for nurseries.

It blends an overlay of white with pastel and soft baby-friendly hues. It’s a great nursery present when you want to get these new parents something that they can use again and again.
