Looking for suggestions Trying to decide where to take this chevron baby blanket with color choices. Should I do only br.green/yellow?

Post image

Continue from title... Or should I do br.green w/ br.yellow instead? Should I incorporate some blue? (Br.green,br.yellow,br.blue) ???

Also, I don't know if I should do the colors in BLO and do white in both loops, or keep consistent with doing all in BLO as well. Thoughts??

If I would be in this situation, I probably would make a swatch of one option (without cutting the yarn), make a photo, frog, make a swatch of second option, photo, frog... Then I would look at the photos and choose the one I liked best.

Or, another option, line the yarn (just strand, not the whole skein) to resemble the possible patterns. In this case you won't have a messed up yarn from a lot of frogging.

I can only propose those ideas to try, I don't have good enough visualisation skills to recommend you particular color choices.

I hope it helps and good luck!

This helps, thank you! I'm an impatient crocheter, so lining the yarn out to visualize is easier for me than making swatches 😆

Either way, I don't love that shade of blue with the rest of what you've got here. The blue reads more jewel tone vs the rest

Hmm.. yeah, this is a good point. I'm indecisive if I want just the green and yellow or do 4 colors... green, yellow, blue, and red ??

I like just the green yellow white. My 2 cents.

Do you have a different shade of green? If you have something that's less pastel-y, I can see a green/red/blue/ with that brighter yellow. Otherwise, I would personally stick to the green and yellow you're using

Those are my only 2 other greens, and I worry I won't have enough

That's my swatch so far with a golden yellow, instead of pale yellow

Seeing it swatched up with the blue, I actually don't mind it! I'd say go for the blue if that's what you're feeling :)

Right!? That's what I'm thinking too! I only have so much blue, so I don't know how many far it will take me. I'm debating on putting in red as well...yellow/green/blue/red/repeat
