As per usual I used the Bernat Premium yarn for this blanket. I can't remember why I purchased the coral color. It's quite pretty. Thankfully it's the same thickness as the parchment color.
The Bernat Premium has been my favorite yarn for everything, but the thickness between the colors isn't very consistent any more. Some colors are almost bulky weight and others are almost dk weight. That just doesn't work for me. I'm on the hunt for a worsted weight, multi-purpose, yarn that has consistent weight between the colors. It also has to be available in Canada.... lol
Because the coral color is a bit "girly" I thought I would make a blanket that looked a little more feminine. The pattern has a pretty 2 row repeat that can be done in stripes or even a solid color. You could also use variegated or self striping yarn.
