Introduction:
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of creating a gorgeous flower blanket based on the detailed instructions. This blanket is fun to make, customizable, and great for personal use or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one. The design consists of a repeating flower pattern with double crochets, stems, and a scalloped border perfect for crocheters of all skill levels.
Materials Needed
To make this flower blanket, you’ll need the following materials:
- Yarn: Weight 4. Use three shades of pink (for the flowers), green (for the stems), and a neutral color (for the background between the flowers).
- Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook.
- Other Tools: A pair of scissors and a yarn needle (for weaving in ends).
Step 1: Starting the Blanket
- Make a Slip Knot:
Start by creating a slip knot and placing it on your hook. - Chain Foundation:
- Create a series of chain stitches.
- The total number of chains must be a multiple of 4.
- For the example uses 16 chains, while the full blanket starts with 160 chains.
- Work in Back Bumps:
When crocheting the base chains, work into the back bumps for a neater edge.
Step 2: Double Crochet Rows (Neutral Color)
- Row 1 - First Double Crochet Row:
- Count to the fourth chain from the hook and begin your first double crochet stitch.
- Continue working double crochets into each chain all the way to the end.
- Turn your work to prepare for the next row.
- Row 2 Onward:
- Chain 3 at the start of every row – this counts as the first double crochet.
- Skip the first stitch at the base of the chain-3 and continue working double crochets into each stitch.
- At the end of the row, ensure you work a double crochet at the top of the chain-3 from the previous row.
- Repeat Rows in Neutral Yarn:
Continue double crochet rows for a total of 3 rows. This will serve as the base background before introducing the flower stems.
Step 3: Adding the Flower Stems (Green Yarn)
- Change to Green Yarn:
- While finishing the last stitch of the third neutral row, switch to green yarn by pulling through with the new color before completing the stitch.
- Secure the new yarn but avoid tying knots.
- Create "V" Shapes for Stems:
- Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
- Skip 1 stitch, and work a double crochet (DC), chain 1, double crochet (DC) into the third stitch to form a V-shape.
- Skip 2 stitches, then repeat the V-stitch (DC, CH1, DC) into the next stitch.
- Continue this pattern until reaching the end of the row.
- Finish the Row:
- Work a single double crochet into the last stitch.
- Cut the green yarn and prepare for the flower row.
Step 4: Creating Flowers (Pink Yarn)
- Switch to Flower Color (Pink):
- Attach the pink yarn to the final green stitch (like switching colors earlier).
- Chain 4 (instead of the usual 3) and turn your work.
- Create Flower Stitches:
- In the V-spaces from the previous row, you’ll work cluster stitches to form flowers:
- Yarn over, insert into the V-space, pull through a loop, yarn over, and pull through 2 loops. Repeat this process 3 times to create 4 loops on your hook.
- Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops, then chain 2.
- Work another flower cluster into the same V-space.
- Repeat this process in each V-space across the row.
- In the V-spaces from the previous row, you’ll work cluster stitches to form flowers:
- Finish the Row:
- At the end of the row, chain 1 and work a single double crochet into the top of the chain-3 from the previous row.
- Transition back to the neutral color for the next rows.
Step 5: Adding the Next Neutral Rows
- Switch Back to Neutral Color:
- Attach the neutral yarn as before and chain 3 to start the row.
- Fill In Around Flowers:
- Work one double crochet into the chain-1 space of each flower cluster.
- Add two double crochets into the chain-2 spaces between flower clusters.
- Repeat this pattern across, creating smooth rows over the flower layer.
- Complete 3 Rows of Neutral Colors:
- As with the first section, crochet three rows of neutral yarn.
- Repeat steps 3–5 (stems, flowers, neutral rows) to continue lengthening the blanket.
Step 6: Adding a Border
- Single Crochet Base Around the Entire Blanket:
- Work 3 single crochets in each corner and single crochet evenly along the sides, the top, and the bottom of the blanket.
- This creates a clean base for the decorative border.
- Shell Stitch Border:
- Chain 1, skip the next stitch, then work 5 double crochets into the following stitch (this creates the shell).
- Skip the next stitch and work a single crochet into the following one.
- Continue alternating shells and single crochets for a beautiful scalloped border.
- Finish the Border:
- Slip stitch into the first stitch of the border to complete the round.
- Fasten off and weave in all remaining ends.
