Step By Step Pattern

Materials

To create your Daisy Granny Square blanket, you’ll need the following:

• Yarn:
  • Yellow for the flower center.
  • White for the petals.
  • Green for the granny square and border.
• Crochet Hook: 4.0 mm.
• Optional Tools:
  • Scissors to cut the yarn.
  • Yarn needle for weaving in ends.

Stitch Guide

Here are the techniques you’ll use in this project:

• Slip Knot: A simple loop to secure your yarn onto your hook to start crocheting.
• Chain Stitch (ch): Foundation stitches that connect sections. To complete, yarn over and pull through the loop.
• Slip Stitch (sl st): Used to join rounds or stitches; insert hook, yarn over, and pull through both loops.
• Double Crochet (dc): Yarn over, insert hook into indicated stitch, yarn over, pull through loop. Yarn over again, pull through two loops, yarn over again, and pull through the last two loops.
• Popcorn Stitch: Make multiple dc stitches into the same stitch, drop the loop, reinsert the hook into the first dc, grab the dropped loop, and pull it through to create a puffy petal effect.
• Half Double Crochet (hdc): Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull through a loop (three loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through all three loops.

Notes

• Gauge: If you want your squares or blanket to be a certain size, adjust your hook size. Larger hooks result in bigger squares; smaller hooks create tighter ones.
• Customization: Choose any colors that match your decor or create colorful combinations for a vibrant look.
• Blanket Size: The tutorial suggests using 100 squares joined into a blanket measuring approximately 1210 cm x 120 cm, but you can vary the size by adding or reducing squares.

Pattern Instructions

1. Make the Daisy Center

1. Start with yellow yarn.
2. Create a slip knot on your hook.
3. Chain 4, then insert your hook into the first chain and make a slip stitch to form a small ring. (Alternatively, use a magic ring for a neater center.)
4. Chain 2 (counts as the first dc). Work 11 dc into the ring. You should have 12 stitches total.
5. Slip stitch into the first dc to close the round.

2. Crochet the Petals

1. Switch to white yarn.
2. Attach it to any dc stitch from the yellow center.
3. Begin your Popcorn Stitch:
   • Chain 3 (counts as the first dc).
   • Work 2 more dc into the same stitch.
   • Remove your hook from the working loop, reinsert it into the first chain 3, grab the dropped loop, and pull through.
4. Chain 2, move to the next stitch, and repeat the Popcorn Stitch.
5. Continue the pattern around the yellow center to form 12 petals in total.
6. Chain 1, slip stitch into the first petal to close the round.
7. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

3. Create the Granny Square

1. Use green yarn and attach it to any space between two petals.
2. Chain 2 (counts as the first hdc), then work 2 hdc into the same space.
3. Move to the next space and work 3 hdc.
4. For each corner space, work:
   • 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc.
5. Repeat the pattern: two clusters of 3 hdc along each side and corner clusters in each corner space.
6. Slip stitch to the first hdc to join the round.

4. Make Additional Squares

1. Crochet more Daisy Granny Squares using the same pattern. You’ll need 100 squares for the suggested blanket size (10 squares across and 10 squares down).
2. Lay out the squares in your preferred arrangement before joining.

5. Join the Squares

1. Use slip stitches and green yarn to join the squares:
   • Attach the yarn with a slip knot.
   • Insert your hook into the bottom half stitch of the top square and the top half stitch of the bottom square.
   • Yarn over and pull through all three loops to create a slip stitch.
2. Continue joining all horizontal and vertical seams, adding a chain stitch at the end of each slip stitch for stability.

6. Add a Lace Border

1. Follow these rounds to finish the decorative border:
   • Round 1: Single crochet using green yarn. Balance height with hdc and dc stitches at joins for an even edge.
   • Round 2: Double crochet with white yarn. Add corner clusters (2 dc, chain 2, 2 dc) for sharp corners.
   • Round 3: Use green yarn. Work single crochets with corner hdc clusters.
   • Round 4: Switch back to white yarn. Add decorative corner clusters with 2 chain stitches.
   • Round 5: Work five double crochets into corner spaces to create scallops, skipping stitches between each cluster.

Customization Options

• Adjust Dimensions: Easily modify the blanket size by increasing or reducing the number of squares. Make everything from a small throw to a large bedspread.
• Color Variations: Experiment with different color palettes—go bold with bright tones, stick with pastels for a subtle look, or create a monochromatic design for understated elegance.
• Embellishments: Add extra texture by edging the blanket with decorative borders or incorporating beads on the daisies for a whimsical touch.

Pattern Question:

Question: Can I adjust the size of the blanket?

Answer: Yes! Simply increase or decrease the number of daisy squares to match your desired size. You can also lay out the squares in different arrangements or add more borders for a tailored look.
