Whether you drape it over the couch or fold it at the foot of your bed, this floral blanket is sure to add a burst of color and warmth to your decor.
What You Need to Start Your Sunflower Blanket
To make this lovely granny square blanket, you’ll need Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick yarn in shades like Toasted Almond, Barley, Mustard, and Oatmeal. Using a 9.00 mm crochet hook, this super bulky yarn works up quickly, giving the blanket a thick, soft texture that’s perfect for keeping warm.
You’ll need 16 skeins in total to create a blanket that measures approximately 47” x 72” after blocking. As long as you match the gauge, any super bulky yarn will work for this project.
Step-by-Step Guide for Crafting Your Sunflower Motifs
You’ll start by making 24 sunflower afghan blocks using basic stitches like treble crochets to form the petals. The blanket is assembled using the continuous join-as-you-go (CJAYG) method, which allows you to join each square as you work, adding a border around each motif for a seamless finish.
If you prefer different methods for joining crochet squares, just remember to adjust your yarn amounts accordingly.
