I love a good blanket project that is mindless, don’t you? There is just something about being able to curl up with it, put on whatever current binge worthy show and crochet without having to think about what i’m doing! Even better, The Fairy Floss Throw uses yarn held double. So not only does it work up quicker, it gives a beautiful but effortless look!
The Fairy Floss Throw uses two different yarns, both of them Lion Brand. First is Pound Of Love which is a worsted weight and the second one is Mandala String which is a super fine weight. The Mandala String yarn does allllll the talking in this pattern. It creates a beautiful stripe effect with zero effort on your part.
There are so many different color combinations for this blanket. I used vintage white (but you can also use Vanilla or White for the same look) and Jazz for the mandala yarn. I wanted to see what it would look like with a darker yarn and I totally love it just as much!! Check it out below! You can use Charcoal or Black to achieve this look.
If you want more of a neutral look you can swap out the Jazz color for the color Ballad. I think this would look amazing! I’m so excited to see everyones blankets! If you plan on getting yarn I recommend grabbing the kit from lion brand which comes with a free copy of the printable pattern!
