I would love to make my 12th grandbaby coming in November a beautiful blanket and some booties to go along with it. He will be the 6th boy to make it even with the girls and also makes me the Nana of an even dozen babies.
Considering I’ve been busy taking care of my infant grandson, who has had a lot of difficulty since he was born, I haven’t had the chance yet to make him a soft blankie like I have for the other grandchildren. He loves colors and soft things, so this would be perfect for him, and now that he’s doing better I can finally get back to creating something!

I like to make blankets for new babies born in my community. Would love to make some more with this lovely yarn!
When this lady was a child I used to cut her hair. Beautiful blonde and sweet. As she grew up she made some bad life choices that almost got her murdered; instead they beat her to a pulp and left her bleeding on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere like garbage. This courageous woman worked so very hard to leave that lifestyle with the help of her boyfriend; who is now her hubby. They are expecting a baby boy in October. They purchased their first home this year and the blanket would look lovely in baby’s nursery. She deserves some more beauty in her life.

I’m expecting twin grandbabies this fall, so I’ll be making it for them.

We have a Cancer Clinic nearby and since I used their services last year, and am now cancer-free, I would make a blanket or two lap blankets for patients who are waiting for treatment and need a cuddle or some comfort.
I would like to make this for my future grand child. If someone is having a baby in the family, then I would gift it for them.
I would make this afghan for my granddaughter, Laura. She just got married and I am making a box for her to be given to her when she starts her family. I am getting older at a still spunky 73, and my eyes are giving me some problems. That means that I tend to make things with larger hooks now. I hope to get my eyes fixed soon so that I can make lots more things for her. This blanket looks to be one which I could do now so that she will have it when the time comes. She happens to love afghans. She wore out the one I made for her as a baby. So I made her another one last year and have one for her to share with her husband to go off to her in a couple of weeks. She cannot crochet, which makes my things for her have an extra special value.
This would make a lovely gift for a young woman whom I have known since she was a child who is expecting her second child.
I love Bernant yarn. They always have the best Colours and the softest feel. Excited for this line of yarn from them.
I would make this for my hope chest.

I would make this for my 6 year old. She loves everything rainbow.
I would crochet this blanket for each of my seven grandsons. I would have each of them pick out their favorite colors to make the blanket special for each one of them.
I just found out my bro when he watches tv — to save on AC costs — lays on the floor with a box fan blowing on him. He’s a bachelor, and doesn’t even own a vacuum cleaner, so I know the carpet is filthy. I’d lengthen the blanket and tell him to lay on it, instead of directly on the floor.
One of my grandkids. Trouble would be deciding which of the 6 would want it most.
I would make this beautiful blanket for a pregnancy home we support. I have a group that crochets and knits for a home for unwed mothers who wish to support and keep their babies either for themselves or for adoption. I would make it for a new mother who has no finances to help support her baby and sometimes no family support. I would relish this awesome pattern and yarn to make for a new baby in this home
Definitely my youngest grandson. He just turned one and lives in Denmark. Thank you for the ideal colorful color combination I could use for a boy or a girl.

Compared to my first afghans 40 years ago, the pattern is softer looking and the colors crisp and bright. Any new baby would love to use this piece of art.
My little boy would love this blanket! And I would love to make it for him.
I would make this blanket for me and my young children to snuggle under while watching Yellow Submarine 🙂
I’d make one for my grandson Crosbie.
I love rainbows, but I have plenty of afghans so I would probably give it to charity.
Would donate to hospice for someone’s comfort once made.
I would make this as a lapghan for my friend who is undergoing chemo. I think the bright colors and the softness would brighten her day and give her comfort.

GREAT!
I have three grandbabies born in the last 1 1/2 years they would all love one of these.
our niece , who lives in Seattle. she is expecting a baby in november!!!!
I crochet all the time especially watching TV and when we travel. Keeps me occupied and awake. I have a crate of baby blankets, knee rugs etc that I have made. In fact yesterday I gave away three. Two for people as gifts for new babies, another for a dementia high tea raffle prize. Those that are not purchased I will sell at a cost to recover the cost of the yarn and a donation for Rotary Foundation. I let the recipient decide how much to give. If I am lucky enough to win the blanket would be used for the same purpose
My niece’s. They just recently lost they’re little kitty.they could use a cuddle blanket
I would make it for my 12-year-old daughter who never had a handmade baby blanket and still wants one.
I would make a blanket for someone who was in need of one for their baby, I make a lot of blankets since I don’t have children. I enjoy giving the blankets to other people who need them. My friends grandkids are nuts about me when they see something new somewhere they make their parents take a picture and they come running to me to ask if I could make them one, and of course I always make it for them I just love them for filling up my days. I love to see their reaction when I give them what they ask for its such a pleasure.
I will definitely be making this for my niece. She loves bright color blankets and is very proud of her choices in life and her wonderful girlfriend!
i would make this afghan for two of the sweetest men I know…a couple who have found each other and will soon make their love and commitment legal. The rainbow stripes are fun, cheerful, and make a statement everyone understands
I’d crochet something for my grandbaby that is due to arrive in December.
I would make this colorful afgahn to brighten some young child/teen’s day to give them hope. Surrounding yourself with bright colors to me totally defies any negativity that might be surrounding them.
I would make it for my cousin who is expecting as a baby gift for her shower coming up at the end of the month. This is her first.
I would use the yarn to make a baby blanket for a lovely young woman I work with. She has a positive attitude and is always fun to work with. This is her first baby, due in January.

Bernat baby yarn collection for baby afghans and clothing items
myself..selfish I know. It’s just so happy.
I do handwork for a children’s cancer unit. They would appreciate the bright beautiful, no wool product of this lovely yarn.
What bright beautiful colors. My daughter and son-in-law have not been able to have a child of their own and are going through the process of adoption. The colors of the rainbow are a perfect representation for a newborn and two loving parents: red- life, orange- healing, yellow -sunlight, green-nature, blue-serenity, purple-spirit, and white-purity and love. This would make the perfect gift for them.
I would make one for each of my grandnieces.
We only have one grandchild and no possibilities for any more, so I would make it for her. OR, I would make it for my mom as she probably could use a new one since she lets her pup sleep on her others, OR I could donate it to the nicu at our local hosp. OR I could donate it to a nursing home OR…………whatever I would do, it sure would be fun to work with such soft and wonderful colors!
I would make this lovely rainbow blanket for my grandkids.
My great nephew, Finn.
I would crochet this blanket for my great niece, Alice! She is a vibrant 1 year old and I think this pattern matches her personality! I think I would also add pink between the red and orange to make it a little more “girly”.
OMG I love rainbows. My blanket would be for me and my girls to snuggle and watch movies 🙂 love love love

This would be an awesome baby blanket for my friends that aren’t finding out the gender till the birth-day!
When each of my kids had babies over the course of the last two years, I gave each of them their crocheted baby blankets to use with their own child. I would make this to keep at my house to use when my grand babies come stay with me!
I would make it for my niece. She lives over 1000 miles from me. I would love to be able to send this to her so she could wrap herself up in my love when I can’t be there.

I would make this blanket and gift it to my Aunt Evelyn. I owe this wonderful woman my life, literally! When I was seven she saved me from drowning, and I love her to the moon and back. She is in her nineties now, and living in a really great nursing home in B.C. and this would make a nice warm lapghan for when she is relaxing in her wheelchair, chatting with her friends in the afternoon. The colours would brighten her day, every day!

I am part of a needle crafters group. We crochet, knit + quilt for children, families + seniors in our community. I crochet hats + scarves for a local preschool. The yearly request from the school is typically 120 hats + scarves. They also accept lapghans for the children. If I won this prize, I would crochet a lapghan(s) for the children in this preschool. It would be a welcome break from crochetting just hats + scarves. 🙂
Would love to make this blanket for a person I need of hope to remind them of Gods promises.
Would love to make this blanket for someone who needs hope to remind them of Gods promises!
I would crochet this rainbow blanket for my granddaughter. I know she would love the bright colors.
My new neice
My husband is in the nursing home and I volunteer there, so I am acquainted with the other residents. There are several who crochet, but can’t afford to buy good yarn. I would love to be able to donate this quality of yarn and the pattern so they could make a beautiful blanket for their craft sale.
I would make it for myself.I .Haven,t crocheted for a long time , always ever been for everyone else.
I need a new throw & this one is bright .Would be the nicest thing to take to hospital as well.Love the design looks happy & comfy..Hope i can remember how to crochet.
Is there a name for this pattern? I usually look for videos to help me make crocheted items. While this looks lovely I don’t understand working in back loops. Thanks much. Look forward to making this item, love the colors too.
