Step-by-Step Detailed Crochet Instructions

Base Circle Section

Round 1

1. Create a magic ring.
   • Hold the yarn over your thumb and rotate it into a cross shape.
   • Insert your hook under the first thread, pull the second thread, and twist to secure the ring.
   • Pull your working yarn through to form the ring and secure with one chain stitch.
2. Chain 2 to start the round.
3. Work 12 Double Crochets (dc) into the magic ring:
   • Yarn Over (yo), insert the hook into the ring, pull up a loop (3 loops on the hook).
   • Yo, pull through the first two loops. Yo, pull through the remaining two loops.
4. After completing 12 dc, pull the loose end of the ring tightly to close it.
5. Slip Stitch (sl st) into the first stitch to complete the round.

Round 2

1. Chain 2 to begin the round.
2. In each stitch of the previous round, work 2 dc followed by chain 1:
   • Work 2 dc into the same stitch.
   • Chain 1, move to the next stitch.
3. Repeat this pattern around. You’ll end with 24 dc in total (12 pairs of dc separated by chain 1 spaces).
4. Complete the round with a sl st in the starting stitch.

Round 3

1. Chain 2 to start the round.
2. For each pair of double crochets from the previous round:
   • Work 1 dc into the first stitch.
   • Work 2 dc into the second stitch of the pair.
   • Chain 1 and skip the chain space from the previous round.
3. Repeat this pattern to form sets of 3 dc grouped (1 dc + 2 dc) followed by chain spaces.
4. Complete the round with a sl st.

Increasing Rounds

1. For subsequent rounds, continue increasing:
   • Add 1 dc to the first stitches of each group.
   • Always work 2 dc into the last stitch of the group to make the “increase.”
2. Add chain 1 between groups and skip all chain spaces from previous rounds.
3. Repeat until the circle reaches your desired blanket size.

Green Yarn Section – Vines Framework

1. Join green yarn with a sl st into any stitch of the base circle edge.
2. Work a single crochet (sc) into the same stitch.
3. Chain 4, skip 2 stitches, and work a sc into the third stitch.
   • The chains should create a slightly curved loop.
4. Repeat the pattern (ch 4, skip 2 stitches, sc in third stitch) around the blanket edge.
5. Finish the round with a sl st into the starting stitch.

Flower Pattern

Creating the Flower Framework

1. Work into the loops created by the green yarn.
2. For each loop:
   • Sc into the loop, then ch 3.
   • Work 4 dc into the loop, chaining between the stitches as follows:
     • Chain 1 between the first and second dc.
     • Chain 2 between the second and third dc.
     • Chain 4 after the fourth dc.
3. Complete with another ch 3 and an sc back into the loop.
4. Repeat for each loop along the blanket.

Adding Leaves

1. Attach green yarn in the center of a loop.
2. Ch 7, then sl st into the fifth chain to create a midpoint.
3. Ch 2, and finish with a sc back into the same loop.

Final Flower Details

1. Using colorful yarn for petals:
   • Insert yarn into one of the flower holes. Ch 3, then work 4 unfinished dc into the hole.
   • Yarn over, pull through all loops on the hook, and ch 1 to secure.
2. Repeat this process for each petal within the flower.
3. After completing, slip stitch into the first stitch and weave in the ends.

Finishing Techniques

1. Check all ends and covertly weave them into the stitches using a tapestry needle.
2. Tighten any loose loops, particularly from magic rings or flower petals.
3. Block the blanket if necessary to ensure it lies flat and showcases the floral patterns.
