Crochet Flower Blanket Bouquet Pattern

Materials Needed

To create the Flower Blanket Bouquet, gather the following:

1. Yarn:
   • 50g Milk Cotton Yarn in the colors of your choice, including white, green, and alternating colors for roses (e.g., Green Pea & Mossy Olive Green).
   • You may use matching yarn packs for consistency.
2. Hook:
   • 3mm crochet hook: Ideal for the milk cotton yarn used in this project.
3. Additional Tools:
   • Scissors: For cutting the yarn.
   • Stitch Markers: To mark the beginning of rounds.
   • Darning Needle: For weaving in ends and sewing.

Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Start with the Blanket Base

The blanket base is created with rounds of double crochet, increases, and chain gaps.
Create the Magic Ring:

1. Wrap the yarn around your fingers as described and secure the magic ring using a slip knot.
2. Chain 2 to begin Round 1.

Round 1:

1. Inside the magic ring, make 12 double crochets as follows:
   • Yarn over, insert hook into the ring, yarn under, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).
   • Yarn over, pull through two loops. Yarn over again, pull through the last two loops.
2. Once you've completed 12 double crochets, pull the tail to tighten the ring and close the gap.
3. Slip stitch into the first stitch of the round to join.

R 2:

1. Start with chain 2.
2. Increase in Every Stitch: In each stitch from Round 1, place 2 double crochets.
3. After each increase, make chain 1 to create gaps. Repeat this all around the round.
4. Slip stitch to finish.

R 3 and Beyond:

1. For each consecutive round, increase the number of individual double crochets between increases (e.g., Round 3 includes 1 double crochet in between two increases, Round 4 includes 2 individual double crochets before increases).
2. Continue until the blanket reaches the desired size.

Technique Tip: Ensure the total stitch count for the final round is a multiple of 8, as roses will be added later.

Step 2: Adding Green Leaves

1. Attach green cotton yarn to any stitch on the blanket. To secure, pull the green yarn through the stitch and chain 1.
2. For your first round, work single crochet into stitches, skipping every 2 stitches between chain gaps (Chain 2 and Single Crochet into the third stitch).
3. Continue making chain 2 and single crochet until the entire round is complete.
4. Next Round: Work 2 single crochets into each gap (created by chain 2) and one single crochet into the previous row's stitch.
5. Finish the round with a slip stitch.

Step 3: Making Leaves

1. Chain 3.
2. Identify stitch placement: Count 2 stitches to the left and insert hook at the bottom of the stitch diagonally. Work a single crochet, anchoring the chain to the blanket base.
3. Begin leaf shaping inside the chain 3 gap, working as follows:
   • 1 single crochet.
   • 1 half double crochet.
   • 3 double crochets.
   • 1 half double crochet.
   • 1 single crochet.

Repeat the process for the right leaf, counting stitches as instructed to ensure even placement.

Step 4: Crochet Roses

Each rose is constructed separately to decorate the blanket.

1. Chain 16 using your chosen rose colors.
2. Skip the first two chains, and place 3 double crochets into each chain across.
3. At the end, chain 3, and slip stitch into the last chain to secure.
4. Roll the completed strip into the shape of a rose and sew using a darning needle.
5. Attach the roses to the blanket by sewing them onto the leaves.

Finishing the Project

1. Weaving in Ends: Use a darning needle to hide all loose ends on the backside of your blanket. Insert the needle through loops, ensuring the tail remains secure and invisible.
2. Repeat the rose making process and attach roses all around the blanket as desired.

Tips to Maintain the Pattern

1. Stitch Counting: Regularly check your stitch count, especially when working increases and gaps, as the rose attachment depends on consistent spacing.
2. Blocking: If the blanket appears wavy or uneven, lightly block the piece by pinning to shape and steaming gently to help it lay flat.

1. Color Choices: Mix and match rose colors to suit your preferred aesthetic. Alternate leaf placements to create dynamic texture.
2. Batch Roses: To save time, create roses in bulk and attach them later.
3. Avoid Over Tightening: Tugging the yarn too tightly may warp stitches, so try to keep tension even throughout.
