Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create your Meadow Blossom Blanket:

Creating the Blanket Base

1. Round 1: Start with a magic ring. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Work 11 double crochets into the magic ring. Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the chain 3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
2. Round 2: Chain 3, then double crochet in the same stitch. Work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3. You will have 24 double crochets.
3. Round 3: Chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch. Double crochet in the next stitch. *Work 2 double crochets in the next stitch, then double crochet in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3. You will have 36 double crochets.
4. Round 4: Chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch. Double crochet in the next 2 stitches. *Work 2 double crochets in the next stitch, then double crochet in the next 2 stitches; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3. You will have 48 double crochets.
5. Round 5: Chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch. Double crochet in the next 3 stitches. *Work 2 double crochets in the next stitch, then double crochet in the next 3 stitches; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3. You will have 60 double crochets.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner (adding one more double crochet between increases each round) until your blanket reaches your desired size. Remember to keep your stitches even for a uniform look.

Adding Floral Motifs

To create the floral motifs:

1. Choose contrasting colors (yellow, pink, or purple) for your flowers.
2. Make small circular appliques using a simple pattern of chaining and double crochet to form flowers. You can create these by making a small circle and working petals around it.
3. Once your flowers are complete, randomly attach them across the surface of the blanket using slip stitches or a yarn needle to sew them in place. This will give your blanket a delightful meadow-like effect.

Finishing Touches

To finish your blanket, add a simple scalloped border using white yarn:

1. Single crochet (sc) around the entire edge of the blanket.
2. In each corner, work 3 double crochets to create a rounded effect.
3. For the scallop, chain 3, skip 2 stitches, and slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat this around the entire edge.

Your Meadow Blossom Blanket is now complete! Enjoy snuggling under your beautiful, handmade creation that brings the essence of nature into your home.
