This fabulously flowery and incredibly colorful crochet blanket is designed to use up most of the yarn in each color. It’s a great stash-busting project, too. The Field of Flowers by Catherine Bligh looks like a summer meadow and will surely be a decoration for any interior!
Is This Blanket Pattern Difficult?
Since it’s made up of a single repeating square, the Field of Flowers Blanket pattern isn’t particularly difficult. The flower center motifs are worked with post stitches, so if you already know these techniques, you’re all set up to complete this project with ease.
Yarn for the Field of Flowers Blanket
The real charm of this square-based crochet blanket pattern lies in its colorful floral look. To create the same beautiful result, make sure to get the yarn in multiple colors.
The designer used Stylecraft Batik Double Knitting yarn in 17 lovely shades: raspberry, rose, indigo, old gold, storm, pistachio, heather, coral, cherry, plum, mint, teal, violet, olive, sage, lupin, and silver. Prepare one skein of each color, except for silver, which requires 29 balls.
How Many Squares Will I Need for a Full-Size Blanket?
For a bedspread measuring 54″x102″, you need to make ten squares for each of the sixteen colors. This means 160 crochet flower squares in total. The final size of your blanket may vary depending on your tension and the materials used.
How to Adjust the Size of Your Blanket
Want to modify the blanket’s size? No problem! Thanks to its square construction, the pattern is very easy to adjust. Simply reduce the number of squares to create a smaller blanket, and increase their number to get a larger layer.
