Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Start with Hydrangea Flowers

1. Magic Circle:
   • Create a magic circle and secure with one slip stitch.
2. Flower Base:
   • Chain 2 (counts as first dc), then work 8 dc into the circle.
   • Pull the tail of the magic circle to tighten and close the center. Slip stitch into the first dc to finish the round.
3. Creating Petals:
   • Chain 2 (counts as first dc). Into the same stitch, work: 2 dc cluster, chain 2. Slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat around to create petals.
4. Finish the Flower:
   • Fasten off and weave in ends. Block flowers if desired.

Make multiple hydrangea flowers in pastel hues (e.g., blue, pink, lavender, etc.) until you achieve your desired number.

Step 2: Create Blanket Base

1. Foundation Chain:
   • Using neutral yarn, crochet a foundation chain that matches the width of your blanket (e.g., 150 chains for medium-sized throws). Chain more for larger sizes.
2. Work Rows:
   • Row 1: Insert hook into second chain from the hook and work single crochet (sc) across.
   • Continue working single crochet rows until the desired length of the blanket is reached. Fasten off.

Step 3: Attach Hydrangea Flowers

1. Placement:
   • Arrange your flowers across the blanket base to create a bouquet pattern. Use stitch markers to secure placement.
2. Sew or Crochet Join:
   • Using a yarn needle (or crochet hook with slip stitch), gently sew or attach flowers to the blanket. Ensure they’re evenly spaced and securely fixed.

Step 4: Add Decorative Border (Optional)

1. Border Foundation:
   • Attach yarn to one corner of the blanket. Work single crochet evenly around the edges, making 3 sc in each corner stitch.
2. Decorative Edging:
   • Switch to a contrasting color (e.g., pastel blue). Work shell stitches (5 dc in one stitch, skip 2 stitches, sl st, repeat) around the blanket for a scalloped edge.

Step 5: Weave in Loose Ends

• Using a yarn needle, weave in all loose yarn ends. Take your time to ensure a polished look.

Final Tips

• Care Instructions: Use gentle hand washing or machine wash on a delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry to retain the shape of motifs.
• Gift Idea: Wrap your blanket in tissue paper and include a handwritten note about its handmade origin—it makes a thoughtful gift.
