Materials Used for the Button Blanket Crochet Pattern
For this crochet floral granny square blanket pattern, you need a fingering yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook. A great option is Scheepjes Catona.

Just make sure it has the same weight.
Can I Make This Crochet Button Blanket?
The Button Blanket is an easy pattern that anyone with a good knowledge of crochet stitches should be able to tackle without too much trouble. The squares are worked in the round using double crochets, chain spaces, and popcorn stitches. Once ready, the motifs are joined by working an extra border round around each square with post stitches.
What Size Is the Button Blanket When Finished?
The pattern is written to create a large blanket measuring 56” x 64” (140cm x 160cm) where each square is 4.5” (11cm). It’s the perfect size for a throw that you can spread beautifully on your bed or sofa. By adding or reducing the number of motifs, you can easily adjust this blanket to any size you like.
