Rainbow Cake

"Fluffy, textured layers of vivid colors are separated by thin bands of white. This delicious baby blanket is as irresistible as the rainbow layer cakes that it looks like. The stitch pattern is easy and works up quickly, and best of all, it’s completely calorie free – so go ahead, dig in! It’s made in Baby Hugs yarn, which I received for free from Red Heart. This super soft yarn has been tested to be free from harmful levels of over 300 substances, so smooshing your face in it is perfectly acceptable too!"
