About This Field of Daisies Crochet Blanket Pattern
This pattern creates a cozy, colorful blanket made from 5½" floral motifs assembled into a large field of daisies. You will make multiple motif color combinations and sew them together through back loops for a textured join. The design finishes with a neat triple-row edging and four fluffy flower pompoms at the corners.
Detailed motif instructions, an assembly diagram, and edging rounds are included to make construction straightforward. Suitable for beginners who want a rewarding multi-day crochet project.
Why You'll Love This Field of Daisies Crochet Blanket Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple crochet stitches into a joyful floral mosaic that brightens any room. I enjoy how making each motif feels like a small, satisfying project while the full blanket grows quickly as you assemble them. The color combinations are playful and allow for a lot of creativity, which keeps the process fun and engaging. The corner flower pompoms are my favorite finishing touch — they add personality and make the blanket feel handmade and heartfelt.
Switch Things Up
I love customizing this pattern by changing color palettes to suit seasons or gifts; swapping the bright palette for pastels gives a soft nursery blanket look.
You can make the blanket smaller or larger by adding or removing motifs in the assembly grid—just multiply motifs to increase size or reduce rows for a baby blanket.
If you want a chunkier blanket, use a bulkier yarn and a larger hook to create a squishier, warmer throw that works up faster.
Try substituting a textured stitch for the final edging round to add a unique border treatment that contrasts with the smooth motif joins.
For a modern look, use monochrome centers with a bold contrasting round for each motif so the flower shapes pop against a neutral background.
I sometimes embroider tiny accents on the flower centers or add a button to the center for an extra decorative detail that personalizes each motif.
Make mini versions as keychains by using lighter yarn and smaller hooks to create adorable, portable flower motifs to gift or sell.
Change the Flower Pompom corners to simple tassels or crocheted balls if you prefer a flatter finish that stores easier for travel or crib use.
Try joining motifs with a visible contrasting join color for a graphic grid effect, or use the back-loop join as written for a subtle seam that lets the motifs shine.
If you enjoy stitch variation, replace some motif rounds with puff or bobble stitches to add texture and visual interest across the blanket.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping stitch markers during motif joins can cause uneven alignment; place markers on corners and key join points to keep rows straight.
✗ Forgetting to break Color 1 after joining Color 2 leaves extra yarn tails to weave; cut and fasten off Color 1 as instructed and weave in ends as you go.
✗ Not working joins through the back loops only will change the textured look of the blanket; sew motifs together through back loops only for the intended finish.
✗ Overstuffing the Flower Pompoms makes them bulky and hard to close; stuff lightly and gradually before completing the final petal to maintain shape.
✗ Using inconsistent tension across motifs results in wavy or uneven blanket edges; maintain even tension and check gauge often to ensure square motifs.
✗ Ignoring the note about chain counts at round starts can change stitch counts; remember that ch 2 at beg of rnd does not count and ch 3 counts as dc where specified.
