How to Make a Bright and Cheerful Daisy Crochet Blanket (Free)

Create a bright and cheerful crochet blanket featuring lovely daisy accents and simple stitches. This wonderful project brings cozy warmth and sweet handmade charm to any nursery.

Materials Needed

Gather pale yellow and light gray low peel fiber yarn, a 6 mm crochet hook for the main blanket, a 5.5 mm hook for the border, a tapestry needle, and scissors.

Getting Started and Foundation Chain

Start with a slip knot and make a foundation chain in multiples of three. For a newborn size, chain ninety stitches. Work your first row using a combination of single, half double, and double crochet stitches into the same spaces, skipping two stitches between sets. Finish your rows neatly and repeat for the desired blanket length.

Adding the Daisy Border

Switch to the 5.5 mm hook to create a clean double crochet border around the entire outer edge, working extra stitches into the corners to keep everything flat. Incorporate your second yarn color to form charming little daisy flower motifs along the border by working petals out of chain spaces and double crochets. Finish with a final row of loose slip stitches worked into the back loops only.

Make sure to keep your tension relaxed when working the final slip stitch border so the edges do not pull or warp.

Count your stitches carefully as you set up your foundation chain to ensure your repeating stitch patterns line up smoothly.

Weave in all your loose yarn tails securely using a tapestry needle once your blanket and decorative flowers are completely finished.
