Hi,
I have previously made your rainbow dash blanket in the colours you suggested. Turned out amazing! The recipients loved it and were always getting lovely compliments on it.
I am now making it in pastel shades. I would like to extend the round to make it square. The question I have is about the edging. If I have 91 rounds, how many more stitches would have to add to 123 of the 82 rounds and how many more shells do I have to add to the original. Are the shells a 5 stitch repeat?
I would appreciate your help.
Many thanks and salutations from Scotland.
Im sorry, due to the many rounds of the edging… I dont have a good calculation
Hello….love the Rainbow Dash Baby Blanket….is it possible to get a written pattern emailed to me….at email listed below. Not able to get it thru facebook for some reason. Thank you so much….love your site…and patterns….lovely workmanship.
You forgot your email address, but You can copy and paste it straight from this website on to a word document…
You can use the Print Friendly website (http://www.printfriendly.com) to print or generate a PDF for ANY webpage! Just copy and paste the url for the page (in this case: https://beatriceryandesigns.com/2014/06/09/rainbow-dash-baby-blanket/) into the space and hit “print preview” and from there you decide to print it or save it as a PDF. I love it for crochet patterns and recipes!
Thank you so much Wendy!!! I feel like this is Christmas. I never knew this was out there. I am now on a mission. I love to save all of my future patterns for future work. Thank you and Beatrice again.
Thank you!
Thank you, Wendy, for recommending the Print Friendly website. No more copy and paste for me!
You are welcome… it is very handy
The only problem with that is, and I’m not a pattern designer, many of the designers on crochet blogs make their money for designing these beautiful patterns by selling, usually for a minimal cost, the pdfs for their patters so are not happy when people make their own. there was a person yesterday asking a designer if she, the designer would make her patterns print friendly and the designer explained how much time it takes to design and work out the flaws before posting a free pattern so she sells the pdfs to compensate for all the work she puts into it
Thank you ever so muh for this pattern. I’ve made 2 o them now. One each for grandchildren 🙂
This is gorgeous! I’d like to adapt it to adult size. What size does this pattern make so I know how many additional chains to make? Thanks in advance.
It is about 36 ” across… you just add 2 stitches per repeat..Thank you!!
This is truly more than gorgeous, and I cannot wait to begin on it for my baby grandson, due in May. Major color changes, however! I, too, was wondering about how to convert to adult size. I’m not clear on “adding 2 stitches per repeat”. How about the beginning chain? Thank you!!
Thank you… You add 2 stitches at a time to the starting chain until you get the with you would like… Then you can just keep adding rows to get the length how you want it…
Thank you! I understand now 🙂 Can’t wait to get started!
How do I enlarge this beautiful afghan?
It is in segments of 2 stitches… so just add 2 chain sets till it is wide enough… The length you can just keep going with the rows
This is gorgeous! Is there any way to save it as a PDF? I like to keep my patterns stored on my iPad in iBooks. Thanks!
If you want to copy and paste it to a word document… then I think you can send it to yourself as a pdf..
See my reply above to Karen Pollard about using the Print Friendly website. It’s awesome for saving ANY webpage as a PDF!
Great! Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing this pattern!!
You are welcome
Absolutely beautiful! I’ve been searching for a pattern to make for a coworker who is pregnant and this one may be perfect! Thank you!!
Super!!! What a great gift!
Someone is claiming this pattern on ravelry.. Not sure if you were aware. Same picture you have posted here.
I have it on Ravelry too… I hope its mine you are seeing… I would hate for someone to abuse the pattern!
I see quite a few patterns on youtube that belong to someone other than the person doing the video. I hope they don’t do that to you
I’ll be making this blanket for sure but in a larger size. Thank you
Thank you for letting me know! I will double check
Nice pattern, I wanted to share the picture on my page, but those ads took all the fun out of it! Sorry!
I dont think the ad will transfer to your page… they arent permanent on my pictures… Word Ads just puts them on randomly for a little bit
Oh!! Well I was worried about that…I was visiting someplace and my mouse hovered over something and I had a heck of a time removing it. It attached itself to my programs! I had to go into my control panel and six different ones were on there….so I am super careful. Thanks Beatrice!
Yes,,, I totally understand… I am thinking of asking them not to put the ads on my pictures… It is just distracting.
That is very nice…I will look for your post in my feed and post that way..I think you do really nice work! Hugs, Sandy
Thank you so much!
I found it and posted it, and so far….the ladies just love it!! Sandy
Wonderful!! Thank you!!
It is just beautiful Beatrice, and when I was over there this morning….nearly 400 people have seen the post. I love the trim on your blanket….very pretty! Sandy
That is amazing!! Thank you!
Your welcome!!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Love love love, will be my next project,
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you!!
I love this! Few questions…1) what are the dimensions of the blanket made according to the pattern above? 2) Did you have quite a bit of yarn left over (since those skeins are approx. 16 oz.)?
The blanket is approx 38×40.. and yes if you buy the pound of love or large skeins, you will have plenty left over… it took about 400 yards at the most of each color
Thanks a lot! (And sorry for the duplicate posts.:-P)
Love this! Couple of questions…1) What are the measurements of the blanket made according to the above instructions? 2) Since the yarn you used is approx. 16 oz. per skein, did you have quite a bit left over? Thanks.

I am worried my tension is off, the blanket has some curling to it. Should I go for a larger hook? Thank you for the lovely pattern.
The first couple rows ma curl slightly. After that it should be flat. If this is the case, when you do the boarder it will flatten. If not, you can try a larger hook to see if it helps

I am going to adapt it for a prayer shawl, using a light brown and white. I am trying to use soft, soothing yarn colors (and yarn) to make my prayer shawls. Thank you again for sharing your talents.
Sounds good!

What is the number of stitches in the repeat (pattern) for the edging? I made mine larger, adding chains in groups of 2 to make it wider, and then I did it longer also.
I think it may be a 6 stitch repeat…

Hi, I love everything about this blanket! If I were to make it larger, what would the multiple be for it?
Thank you! It is a multiple of 2
thank you so much! 🙂

I wanted to leave an additional comment for those who are going to make this – I didn’t carry my yarn, and now (after finishing the body) really wished I had. Too many tails on this! It turns out so lovely though.

I love this design – but I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong…I don’t seem to end up with the right number of repeats and end with the wrong stitch at the end of the rows. I may try it on a smaller scale to try to get the hang of it right.
You may be not skipping the correct stitch or adding to many.. Where you do the FPTRC you have to be careful to make the next stitch in the correct spot

Do you think a beginner could handle this pattern. When I first saw it, I thought “Oh what fun colors!” I know several grandchildren from age 2 to 12 would fall in love with it. I seem to have a dyslexia when it comes to reading crochet patterns, but with the pictures you provided, I think I might, just might be able to do it.
Yes, with the pictures you can do it… and once you get going it is just 2 rows that repeat themselves…

I am making this pattern in Christmas red , green and white it is gorgeous so far. I am making much larger than the baby blanket but it such an easy pattern and it is fun to do. The finished afghan will look like much more work than it is, 🙂 Thank you for the pattern.
Perfect… Post a picture to my Beatrice Ryan Designs Facebook page when done or email it to me so I can share it!!

love this blanket but unable to get the pattern – just switches me from this page back to Ravelry and back here again – would appreciate a copy sent to me – thanks so much
There isnt a way to download this pattern from my page directly to you…
So the easiest thing to do is to Copy and Paste the pattern from my page to a word document then you will have it on your computer,,, or better yet,,, When your are on my page with the desired pattern, copy the URL in the address bar… then head over to printfriendly.com and enter the URL in the designated area… this will let you make a pdf, download it, email it, print it and much more… it is a great tool..

I love the looks of this blanket. Hubby bought the yarn for me to make this a twin bed size blanket for my granddaughter. Problem is I keep telling him when he buys my yarn to get bright colors and he keeps buying pastels. Grrrrrrrr. I hope this looks good using pastels in blue, pink, purple and yellow. I want to be sure I understand. The blanket pattern itself I add 2 per repeat. Do you mean stitches or rows? And for the border you say to do 6 per repeat. Again – do you mean rows or stitches?
You will add a sequence of 2 stitches to your beginning chain until it is the width you want… it will shrink in width once you start the rows due to the stitching pattern so make it a little wider than you want… then you keep adding rows until you get it the desired length… The boarder is the same, but it may be a little tricky due to your length you choose.
Thank you so much! I have my fingers crossed I don’t have to much trouble with the border. I bought 2 one lb. skeins to make the twin size blanket (just to top and bottom of mattress and overhand only on the sides approx 10″ on each side to totally cover the mattress, bed board and frame. I will try the border from one short side thru one long side. If have problems will make the blanket a little longer to help out the border. 🙂 Here’s hoping I get thru this with a smile on my face…I have to – I absolutely love the looks of the FPTC!!! One of my ceramic students has done the FPDC on a different pattern and absolutely loves the way it turned out.
Good luck!
I started the blanket and while I would have preferred the bright colors, the pastel does not look to bad done up. i have 18 rows done and it is so pretty. Even hubby was impressed with it. It is going to look so pretty on my granddaughter’s bed!!!
Slow going, but I am 60 now and obviously don’t move as fast as used to when crocheting. This is first time ever did a FP let alone a FPTrc. I love the looks of it.
Thanks so much for posting this afghan pattern!
Great!!! I would love to see the finished project… you can post it to my Facebook or email me… I bet she will love it!

I LOVE the colors and pattern of this blanket! Never saw anything quite like it and it’s just stunning. I really appreciate the pics, especially for the post stitches. I have some problems with post stitches -knowing exactly where to place the stitches and then how to do the rows that come next. These pics help make it all very clear and I hope much easier. Thanks for a great, free pattern. You deserve angel wings and a halo!!
Thank you,, I am glad it helps!

I really love this pattern. I’ve been looking for a pattern to make an afghan for my niece who is having a baby next January. Don’t know the baby’s sex so this is perfect, very gender neutral. Can’t wait to get started.

I sent you a few pictures of the rainbow dash afghan I made. Did you get them ? Also how do you lose the treads on the side of the afghan? I weave them in the afghan but the ends even if i trim them they still show? Is there any better way to do this? By the way I am on my third afghan from all the left over yarn….. vinney…..
I just want to thank you for the beautiful pattern.Your instructions are so easy to follow. i made mine into an afghan 122 chains. I kept adding a group of 10 chains until i got it the right width. I am using all of my left over yarns all different colors. I must have 50 partial skiens of all different colors of yarns. It is coming out beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you again, I love your work…..vinney

Beatrice, you have some extremely pretty patterns. I have about three baby blankets to make and I am going to use this one first. I can’t wait to get started. I think I might have enough yarn in various colors, but JoAnns is having a good saie.
Wonderful!!!

I Love your Rainbow Dash Baby Blanket. The colors you choose to make it I also love. I would love to try to crochet it one day. It came to me on FB, on one of the crochet sites I belong to.
WOW!! Looks great, thank you for sharing. Definitely going to become one of my favourites so effective. Just have to learn how to combine colours appropriately, that part does not come easily. Janice

I have loved working this pattern. I was so happy when I saw it. I made the blanket a little wider than you did. How do I determine how many rows to make so that the border is even?
I would just fold it corner to corner and when it is a perfect triangle … it will be even… or you can measure the width then make the length the same

Hi there. You mentioned that the dimension of the blanket is 38 x 40. I assume that’s with the edge? About how many inches does the edging add to the blanket? Like everyone else, I too love this pattern. I hope I don’t have problems with the edging as I’ve never done one before that’s quite as lovely as this one. Thank you for your answer.
I no longer have the blanket in inventory, but I believe the edge is about 3″.. It is a easy boarder… So I am sure you will do just fine!!
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this. I have a very good friend due with a girl in April andam going to use the colors you used. I’m thinking the yellow is actually “honey bee” as that is the only thing close to it. Can you varify if that is a typo or if I need to look harder?
Thanks for sharing this gorgeous pattern for free!
Thank you.. At the time of designing this blanket the yellow yarn was labeled Honey Yellow, They may have re labeled it since to Honey Bee.
Could you suggest how many chains I should do to make a throw blanket for couch. I have someone that would love to use it to curl up and watch tv at night but I have no idea how many more chains to add. And could I also throw into the mix that I’d like to use a smaller hook. I just love your pattern. And might I just add this will be my first project that I use a pattern. I’m always taught what to do. So wish me luck, I just love this picture. It’s beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
It really depends on the size couch… but would maybe double the chains… You need to add 2 extra chains for each stitch segment you want to add. So you can also just add 2 chains at a time from the original count until it is a little larger than you want… when you work the pattern it will make it slightly smaller than the chain
Thank you so much!!!
I love this blanket! Thank you for sharing! Just wondering if I can use 8 ply yarn to make it as that is all I can get, thanks
Yes… But you may have to go down a hook size and add stitches to your starting chain (2 stitches per increase to make the pattern work) and extra rows too..
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your pattern. This afghan is so pretty, and I love the stitches! And reversible, too? Wow, I am truly impressed! 🙂
Thank You!!
Hello Beatrice,
I LOVE this blanket. I am not very good at figuring things out. Could you please tell me in what order you used your yarn? I don’t want to make a mistake. Thank you for your time and pattern.

Blue, Yellow, Pink Purple… But you can make it with any color combo you want… You can go to my Ravelry page for this pattern and see all the different choices others have done… http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rainbow-dash-baby-blanket/people
Love this blanket, made one in these colors and now will make another trying different colors. Thank you for this pattern.
My 4 year old picked this blanket out for me to make her almost a year ago. I am just now getting around to starting it and I am absolutely in love with this pattern!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us! 🙂
Thank you!
Hi, I really like this pattern but I have not been successful at making the blanket. Is there any tutorial videos on making this blanket?
No So sorry, But the photo tutorial should help you…
Hi, I am trying to figure out what hook size you used on the rainbow dash blanket. Help please!
It has all the materials in the pattern… It was an I hook
I’ve made this afghan with similar colors and it worked out to be beautiful!! The baby girl I gave it to will have many years with this afghan, I was very proud to give her this afghan, Thank you! I have made hats and headbands for family and friends from the patterns posted on your website.
This is gorgeous!! I have a friend who’s having her 1st baby – a girl! Can’t wait to try this beautiful pattern out!! Thank you!!
Thanks!
Hello!!
I just love all your designs, Beatrice!! You def have a “gift”!! I’m going to make the “Rainbow Dash” blanket and I want to use the same colors you used.
I printed up the pattern, but you only have the “yards” that are needed. Each skein is 1,020 yds., so if I make the size you did, I should only need 1’skein of each color, right?? If I’d like to make it larger, tho, can I just add to the length and width?? I’m not real versed in figuring out these sorts of things, sorry.
Could you PLES send your reply to my email:
[email protected] ?? Thanx so much!!!!
Keep in creating!!
God Bless~

Yes.. that is correct
I would love to make this but am unable to print it out without all the comments and ads, would it be possible to email me the pattern without all the ads?
No I am sorry.. the pattern is only available on the site.. Since this is a free one. I don’t send it out.. I have been working on making many of my patterns available PDF for a couple of dollars.. I just haven’t gotten to this one yet
Thank you so much for this pattern, This afghan is beautiful. I have been wanting to make this afghan for a very long time, but I am just now finding the time. I also would like to make it larger, but I don’t understand add 2 stitches per repeat. could you explain it to me. Thank you.
You just add 2 ch increments to the beginning until it is the width you want.. then you follow the pattern, but your st count will be more at the end of the rows.
I love this blanket and am using the same colors. I’m going to start with the blue and should I end with the blue and put a row of double crochet in blue on sides before I start the actual edging
If you want to change it up, you can do the blue however you like to make it yours
