Round 2

Ch 2, dc in same st, 2 dc in each st around, join with st">sl st to top of ch-2. Fasten off Yellow. (24 dc)

Row counter:

💡 Tip: Petals should fan out evenly. Block squares lightly if petals curl.

Round 3

Join White with st">sl st in any st, ch 1, sc in same st, *ch 3, tr in next st, ch 3, sc in next st; repeat from * around, ending ch 3, tr in last st, ch 3, join with st">sl st to first sc. (12 petals made)

Sl st into first ch-3 sp, ch 1, (sc, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sc) in same sp and in each ch-3 sp around, join with st">sl st to first sc. Fasten off White. (12 petals completed)

Row counter:

💡 Tip: Count stitches carefully on Round 6 to ensure square corners. Each side should have equal stitch counts between corners.

Round 5

Join background color with st">sl st in any ch-2 sp at tip of petal, ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in same sp, *ch 1, skip next petal, 3 dc in ch-2 sp of next petal; repeat from * around, ending ch 1, join with st">sl st to top of ch-3. (6 dc groups)

Row counter:

💡 Tip: Pin squares before joining to ensure proper alignment. Joining with RS together creates a subtle ridge on WS.

Step 1

Arrange 72 completed squares in 8 columns and 9 rows. Alternate background colors for visual interest.
Step 2

Using yarn needle and matching yarn color, whipstitch squares together through back loops only. For less visible seams, match yarn color to the background color of adjoining squares rather than using White. Join squares into rows first, then join rows together.
Step 3

Alternatively, use slip stitch join method: hold squares with RS together, st">sl st through both loops of corresponding stitches across edge.

Row counter:

💡 Tip: Border adds polish and stability to blanket edges. Use any coordinating color desired.

Round 1

Join White with st">sl st in any corner ch-2 sp, ch 1, 3 sc in corner sp, *sc in each st and ch-1 sp across to next corner, 3 sc in corner ch-2 sp; repeat from * around, join with st">sl st to first sc.
Round 2

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Worsted). You'll need about approximately 2400 yards total, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Acrylic is budget-friendly and machine-washable; wool gives better stitch definition and drape.

Yes! This is one of the friendlier patterns to start with. You only need to know: ch, sl st, sc, dc. Work slowly, count your stitches at the end of each row, and don't be afraid to frog (rip back) and redo a section — that's how everyone learns. Budget about 18-24 hours; beginners often take a bit longer, and that's totally fine.

Usually it's the joining or finishing — where individual sections meet and need to align. Read through the entire pattern once before you start so there are no surprises. Use stitch markers generously to track your place, especially in rounds. If a section looks wrong, count your stitches before proceeding — catching an error early saves a lot of frogging later.

For this pattern, gauge is "14 dc = 4 inches in width; 10 rows = 4 inches in height. Each completed square = 7 inches". For decorative or non-fitted items it's less critical, but matching gauge ensures you use the right amount of yarn and get the proportions the pattern intends. If your swatch is too small (too many stitches/inch), go up a hook size. Too large — go down.

Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent or machine wash gentle cycle in mesh bag. Lay flat to dry, reshaping as needed. Do not wring or twist. For acrylic yarn, tumble dry low heat is acceptable. Store folded in breathable bag to prevent dust accumulation. A general rule: when unsure about the yarn, hand wash in cool water with a drop of gentle detergent, squeeze (don't wring), and block flat to dry. This is safe for almost every fiber.

Each section builds on the last, so yes — follow them in order. That said, some finishing sections (like embellishments or optional edging) can be skipped if you prefer a simpler look. Read through all sections before starting so you understand how the pieces fit together and can plan your yarn usage across sections.
