Simple Steps to Crochet a Beautiful Rose Blanket with Floral Trim

Imagine having a blanket that looks like a bouquet of roses. This special crochet rose blanket not only keeps you warm but also adds a touch of charm to any room. With soft yarns and beautiful colors, it’s like bringing a garden indoors. This blanket is perfect for decorating your home or giving as a heartfelt gift to someone you love.

Crochet Rose Blanket Pattern

You’ll need three lovely colors: white for the blanket, green for the trim, and pink for the roses. Using a few simple stitches, you’ll form magic rings and add petals that look like real roses. As you crochet the green trim, it gives the blanket a leafy look, which makes the roses pop. Besides being pretty, it’s easy to adjust the size, creating either a cozy pillow or a large, snuggly blanket.

Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Create the Blanket Base

• Start with a magic ring (MR):
  • Follow the instructions in the stitch guide.
• Round 1:
  • Ch 2 (counts as the starting stitch).
  • Create 12 dc into the magic ring. After each dc, ch 1.
  • Pull the tail end of your magic ring to close the loop.
  • Sl st into the first dc to join the round.

• Round 2: Increase every dc:
  • Ch 2 at the start of the round.
  • For each dc in the previous round, work 2 dc into it (this is an increase).
  • After every increase, ch 1.
  • Sl st to join the round.
• Round 3 and Beyond:
  • For each sector (divided by chains), work 1 dc into each dc of the previous round. In the last dc before the chain, work an increase (2 dc into the same stitch). After each increase, ch 1.
  • Sl st at the end of each round to join.
  • Continue this pattern, increasing the number of double crochets between increases as the blanket grows. For example, in round 4, work 2 dcs between increases; in round 5, work 3 dcs between increases, and so on.
• Finish the white base:
  • Once you’ve achieved your desired size, fasten off the white yarn with a finishing knot.

 

Step 2: Add the Green Leaf Border

1. Attach the green yarn:
   • Start at a random point along the blanket edge. Create a slip knot.
2. Round 1: Single crochet base with chain spaces:
   • Work 1 single crochet (sc). Then ch 2. Skip 2 stitches and insert your hook into the next stitch for another sc.
   • Repeat this sequence (sc, ch 2, skip 2 stitches) around the entire border. Join the round with a sl st.
3. Round 2: Add the leaves:
   • Into each chain space, work:
     • 3 sc followed by 1 slip stitch.
     • Into the next space: Work the leaf—sl st, hdc, dc, tr, ch 1, tr, dc, hdc, sl st.
     • Continue this sequence of 3 scs in one space and the leaf in the next until the round ends.
4. Finish off the green yarn with a secure knot and weave in the ends.

Step 3: Crochet and Attach the Roses

1. Create the rose petals:
   • Using the rose-colored yarn, start with a slip knot and ch 12.
   • Skip the first chain stitch and work 1 sc into each remaining chain.
   • Ch 3, turn your work, and make 3 dc into each sc from the previous row.
2. Shape the rose:
   • Once you finish the row, roll the strip tightly to shape the rose. Sew the base of the petals together with a darning needle to secure.
3. Attach the roses:
   • Position each rose on the blanket above the green leaves (between the leaf spaces).
   • Use the darning needle to sew each rose securely in place.
