    ello

    My name is Reba and I like to crochet, and bake.
    Right now I am finishing my grandsons blanket, just working in threads
    and also working on my granddaughters blanket which is spring
    green and lavendar.

    What I would like to know is does anyone have an idea what colors I could use on my next blanket to make it look like a sunburst?
    Thanks for any one help.

    Ho Reba and welcome! You could look through pictures of sunny things to get some idea of the colors you want! Reds, yellows and oranges always look sunny!! So glad you joined us!

    Hello Reba and welcome. I'm Jan. As far as the colors for a sunburst, I'd start with a bright red, to a lighter red, to an bright orange, then to a lighter orange, then a bright yellow, to a lighter yellow, ending with a pale yellow. Hope that helps you a little.

    Howdie and welcome...sometimes just the different shades of one colour might help...for example if you didn't want the blanket to be so dark thus not wanted to use red...just different shades of yellows even to creams and whites......hopes this helps

    the colors sound right, but I would go from cream to the reds.
