A crochet blanket is both a decorative and functional item that can be made in a variety of patterns and styles. One of the most popular is the granny square crochet blanket with flower motifs. This pattern is a combination of several motifs that can be used to create a beautiful and colorful blanket.
Necessary materials:
Colored wool yarn;
Crochet needle;
Scissors.
Step 1: Choose the yarn colors you want to use. The Granny Squares pattern is perfect for using leftover yarn. Choose a variety of colors to make the blanket more interesting.
Step 2: Start with the center square. To do this, make a magic ring with one of the yarns and then make three chains. Then make two half turns on the magic ring, followed by three chains and two more half turns. Repeat the pattern until you have four groups of half loops. Then pull the thread to close the ring.
Step 3: Make the second square. To do this, choose a different color of woolen thread and make a magic ring. Then make three chains and three half turns. Then thread the yarn through the first square, making three chains and two half loops in the space between the groups of half loops in the previous square. Continue until you complete the second square.
Step 4: Make the third square. Choose another color of yarn and make a magic ring. Then make three chains and three half turns. Then attach the yarn to the second square, making three chains and two half loops in the space between the groups of half loops in the previous square. Continue until you complete the third square.
Step 5: Continue making additional squares until you have reached your desired blanket size. Each square must be connected to the previous square with three chains and two half loops.
Step 6: To add the flower motif, make a magic ring with a new color of yarn. Then make six half turns on the magic ring. Then make a chain and half loop in the same space. Then make another chain and another half turn in the same space. Repeat until you have six flower petals. Then secure the yarn in the middle of the Granny square. Make four more flowers and place one in each corner of the square.
Step 7: To finish off, single crochet around the blanket. To do this, choose a yarn color that matches the colors of the squares and make a row of single crochets or double crochets on each edge of the blanket.
Step 8: Make a shell border. To do this, choose another color of woolen thread and make a three-stitch chain. Then make three double crochets in the same chain. Skip three stitches from the previous row and make another shell of three double crochets in the next stitch. Continue until you reach the next corner. Make three shells in the corner to create a rounded corner. Continue until you reach the end of the row. When you reach the end, make a single crochet to close the row.
Step 9: To finish the blanket, cut the yarn and tie it in a knot. Use a tapestry needle to hide loose ends of yarn.
