This is a pattern that has been on my idea list for a long time. I once saw an ad for a pattern from a yarn company that was a striped blanket made out of alternating stripes of 2 colors, but they used multiple shades of each color, so if every other stripe was pink some were a darker pink, some a lighter pink, while the other stripes may have been blue, with some darker, some lighter, and others in between. They were not necessarily in any order, like dark to light, just random from what I remember, and the blanket was knit, not crochet. And they definitely used multiple skeins of different shades of each color, not one ombre or gradient skein, but it gave me an idea.
