The Yarn That Makes the Magic

For this blanket, I used Bernat Perfect Phasing Yarn (CDN), a plush, super bulky polyester yarn with an incredible long gradient fade. The colour transitions are seamless, soft, and beautifully blended. Whether you choose bold jewel tones or soft neutrals, the yarn absolutely makes this blanket shine.

If you substitute, make sure to check gauge and order extra yarn to maintain a consistent fade. Super bulky yarns vary widely in thickness even when labelled the same weight.

Finishing and Blocking (Optional)

To smooth and straighten out your blanket, you can wet block it. Gently wet the blanket, then pin it to the finished measurements on blocking mats to straighten and shape the edges. Adjust the corners and sides until even, and allow the blanket to dry completely before unpinning.
