Scrap Yarn Baby Blanket

I would like to share a little bit about my current WIP. I wanted to make a baby blanket, but because I have so many random odd colours of yarn in my stash, I knew I would not enough yarn in any one colour to make a whole blanket, but I wanted to use what I already had.

I was really keen on doing another patchwork blanket, so just had to decided what colours to use. I found this fantastic colour combination chart on Pintrest:

Be Sweet Yarns

I really liked the 'Underwater' combination, and since the blanket is for a baby boy, I thought the blue shades were very fitting. I looked through my stash and found some similar colours that I thought would really compliment each other:

       

        Baby Blue                       Turquoise                     Ocean Blue                     Navy Blue                          Pale Blue                        Charcoal

These photos don't do the yarn colours justice, but gives you an idea of the colour palette I was working with.

I don't want to give away too much more of what I have been doing, because I'm sort of making it up as I go, but I am really pleased with how the colours are looking together.

I also think I will use this colour chart again for inspiration for future projects where I want to use up some of my stashed yarns.
