Colors for blanket? Help!

I’ve been thinking for a while about crocheting myself a blanket. Now I’ve chosen the motif (an octagon flower), but I’m uncertain about the colors.

What to do?
Crochet the whole blanket in maybe three different colors, or just mix colors completely? Help! What do you think?

Jag har tänkt ett tag på att virka mig själv en filt. Nu har jag valt mönster (en åttakantig blomma), men jag är osäker när det gäller färgvalet.
Vad ska jag göra?
Hela filten i kanske tre, utvalda färger, eller olika färger fullständigt blandade? Hjälp! Vad tycker ni?

    Du kan ju också välja en färg som “grundfärg”, som återkommer i varje blomma och sedan blanda vilt utöver det.

    If you go with three colours, then you don’t have to think as you do it?? But random colours would also be lovely! Sorry, I’m no good with advice 🙂
    I am sure it will be lovely whichever you choose

    Matcha färgerna med omgivningen. Vart ska du ha den? Sängen/soffan/fotöjen? Den kan ju matcha tapeterna eller mattan i det rummet du ska ha den 🙂

    Personally I love the look of the crochet random colours and with a blanket it could save boredom half way through as you’d always be mixing it up.

    I prefer random colours…I have tried to use a limited colour palette, but I just love the scrappy look 🙂 It really comes down to personal preference.

    There is a little thread in the Granny Squares Rav group devoted to just this topic http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/granny-squares/1090276/1-25#21

    I would probably go with random more decisions at the end as to the best way to join them of course, but saves on boredom

    Vad söt! Brukar kolla in din blog för inspiration men har nu en liten flicka på 3 mån så det blir inte mycket stickat för tillfället. Sofia
