About This Crochet Flower Blanket Pattern
This pattern teaches you how to crochet small daisy-style flowers and join them into a colorful blanket. The flowers are made with simple chains, single crochet and slip stitches, making this accessible for newer crocheters. You can use many colors to create a vibrant patchwork effect. The pattern includes assembly notes and a joining diagram for guidance.
Flowers are worked in rounds and joined by attaching petals to neighboring flowers as you go. The author used Drops Paris yarn and a 4mm hook, but you can adapt yarn and hook to change size.
Why You'll Love This Crochet Flower Blanket Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it makes cheerful, colorful blankets that are surprisingly quick to assemble once you get into a rhythm. I love how each little flower becomes a tiny piece of art, and mixing colors is relaxing and playful. The joining method creates a lovely open texture that still feels warm and snuggly. Making rows of flowers feels meditative, and the finished blanket brings a big smile every time I see it.
Switch Things Up
I love customizing this pattern by changing the color placement for each flower to create stripes or gradients across the blanket.
I often make the flower centers one consistent color and vary the petals for a more cohesive look.
If you want a softer palette, I switch to pastel shades or mix neutrals with one bright accent color.
To make a smaller lap blanket, reduce the number of flowers in each row and the number of rows.
For a larger throw, use thicker yarn and a bigger hook or increase the number of flowers per row and rows overall.
I sometimes add a simple single crochet border around the joined flowers to tidy the edges and add stability.
Try embroidering a small detail in the center of each flower for a personal touch and texture variation.
You can also make the centers in a bulky yarn for a raised, textured look that contrasts with fine petal yarn.
If you like a denser blanket, join the flowers more tightly by using smaller connecting stitches when attaching petals.
I sometimes alternate two different petal colors in each flower to create a striped petal effect that reads beautifully from a distance.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the slip stitch to close the initial chain ring leads to a loose center; always attach the first chain to the last with a slip stitch to form a neat ring.
✗ Not changing color correctly when instructed can leave an ugly tail; change colour with the last slip stitch as shown and weave in ends securely.
✗ Making fewer or more petals than required will cause mismatched joins; count and make exactly eight 8-chain bows before proceeding to the petal row.
✗ Forgetting to attach petals of new flowers to existing petals will result in unjoined gaps; follow the drawing and attach the fifth single crochet into the correct petal of the neighboring flower.
✗ Fastening off too close to the joining point leaves little yarn to weave in; leave a workable tail when fastening off so you can neatly sew or weave the end.
