Impressionist Kaleidoscope Blanket

Transform your knitting into a colorful masterpiece with our unique blanket square pattern! Let your yarn do the talking as you explore the captivating directional knitting techniques that enhance the gradual color changes of Chroma Twist yarn. Choose from a delightful palette of colors, whether subtle or bold, to create a mesmerizing impressionist kaleidoscope effect—no two blocks will be alike!

This versatile pattern allows you to work nine blanket square units or more, depending on your creative vision. Each unit utilizes approximately 2/3 of a ball of Chroma Twist, making it an ideal project for stash-busting. The design features four interconnected mitered squares at the center, elegantly surrounded by log cabin knitting-style frames. After crafting these stunning blanket squares, you can sew them together or use slip-stitch crochet for a seamless finish.

Each unit begins at the center and works outwards, starting with the construction of the four mitered squares. As you progress, each new mitered square is connected to the previous one, allowing for a cohesive flow in your design. The log cabin frame is then added after the center mitered squares are complete, giving your blanket a polished and sophisticated look. Notably, all pick-ups and bind-offs are done on the right side, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing finish.
