Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Meadow Blossom Blanket:

Creating the Blanket Base

1. Start with a Magic Ring: To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then make 11 double crochets into the magic ring. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch, then make 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 24 double crochets at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch, then double crochet in the next stitch. *Make 2 double crochets in the next stitch, then double crochet in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 36 double crochets.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch, then double crochet in the next 2 stitches. *Make 2 double crochets in the next stitch, then double crochet in the next 2 stitches; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 48 double crochets.
6. Continue Increasing: Continue this pattern of increasing until your piece measures 40 inches in diameter. To measure, lay your blanket flat and use a measuring tape to check the diameter.
7. Finish Off: Once you reach the desired size, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Creating Floral Motifs

1. Make the Flowers: Using pink, yellow, and white yarns, create small flower appliqués. Start with a magic ring.
2. Chain 1, then make 5 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch.
3. Change Color: Switch to your next color, chain 2, and make 2 double crochets in each single crochet around. Join with a slip stitch.
4. Attach Flowers to Blanket: Sew the flowers onto the blanket in a scattered pattern, ensuring they are evenly distributed for a natural look.
