Pattern Instructions
Follow these step-by-step instructions to create your own Crochet Rose Bouquet Blanket.
Foundation Steps:
- Start by creating a slip knot on your 4.5 mm crochet hook.
- Chain 5 and join to form a ring by inserting the hook into the first chain, taking two loops of the chain.
- Yarn over with the working yarn and pull a loop through the initial loop on your hook to create a slip stitch. Tighten the slip stitch by pulling on the ring, the working yarn, and the loop.
Row 1: Creating the Foundation Ring
- Make a chain of three stitches.
- Work into the ring; include the yarn tail along with the ring as you work.
- Make 12 double crochets into the ring. Remember to carry the yarn tail along with your stitches.
- Join the round with a slip stitch into the third chain of the initial chain three. Ensure you’re inserting the hook into two loops of the chain.
- Pull on the yarn tail to close the middle hole.
Row 2: Expanding the Ring
- Start with chain three.
- In the same space where you joined the slip stitch, work a double crochet.
- Work two stitches into each stitch around the ring.
- You should have 24 stitches by the end of this row.
- Join with a slip stitch into the third chain of your initial chain three.
Row 3: Adding the Chain Spaces
- Chain three and work a double crochet in the same space as the slip stitch.
- Create a chain of two and skip one stitch.
- Work two double crochet into the next stitch.
- Chain two, skip one stitch, and continue across the row.
- Close with a slip stitch in the third chain of the chain three you began with.
Row 4-7: Building the Blanket
- Chain three to begin.
- Work an increase by adding another double crochet into the same starting stitch.
- Double crochet in each stitch across the petal grouping, ensuring to skip one stitch between petals while chaining two in between.
- Repeat these steps, measuring your piece as needed to get the size you desire.
Decorative Touches
Adding the Leaves:
- Insert the hook between the first two stitches where you’d like your leaf to emerge.
- Using the leaf-colored yarn, make a knot and leave a long tail for weaving later.
- With the yarn, make a chain of nine stitches, ensuring each loop is loose.
- Begin by slip stitching into the second chain from the hook.
- Follow by half double crocheting in the next chain.
- Double crochet in the following chain.
- Triple crochet into the next two chains.
- Work a half double crochet in the next chain.
- End with a slip stitch in the last chain.
- Secure the slip stitch by pulling on the yarn loop.
- Repeat these steps around your blanket, forming a flower at each designated petal space.
