About this pattern

Two strings of big, colorful bulbs, red, green, blue, gold and pink, glow against a navy night. Eight colors make it the brightest in this set. The shape is wide and short, 50 by 38 squares, so it spreads over a lap or a chair back. Traditionalists will love it on the tree-side sofa. It is also a clever way to use up leftover yarn scraps.
