Pattern Instructions: The Cozy Days Daisy Blanket is constructed using 42 granny squares that are seamed together. Follow the steps below to create your own cozy masterpiece.
Daisy Granny Square: With Color C (Mustard), Round 1: Create a magic ring and crochet 12 single crochet stitches (sc) into the ring. Slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to close the round. (12 sts)
Round 2: Chain 1, work 1 sc in the same stitch as the chain. Continue working sc stitches around. Slip stitch to the first sc. Fasten off. (12 sts)
With Color B (Salt), Round 3: Join with a slip stitch in any sc. Work a beginning cluster, then chain 3. Work a cluster in the next sc, chain 3 Repeat this pattern around. Slip stitch to the top of the beginning cluster. Fasten off. (12 clusters and 12 ch-3 spaces)
With Color A (Agave), Round 4: Join with a slip stitch in any ch-3 space. Chain 3 (counts as 1 double crochet – dc), work 2 dc, chain 2, 3 dc in the same space. Work 3 half double crochet (hdc) stitches in each of the next 2 ch-3 spaces. [Work 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc in the next ch-3 space. Work 3 hdc in each of the next 2 ch-3 spaces.] Repeat this pattern two more times. Slip stitch to the top of the chain 3. (48 sts and 4 ch-2 spaces)
Round 5: Chain 3 (counts as 1 dc). Work 1 dc in the next stitch. Skip the next stitch, work 2 dc, chain 2, 2 dc in the chain-2 space. [Skip the next stitch, dc across until you reach the stitch before the chain-2 space (10 dc). Skip the next stitch, *work 2 dc, chain 2, 2 dc* in the chain-2 space]. Repeat this pattern two more times. Skip the next stitch, dc 8. Slip stitch to the top of the chain 3. Fasten off. (56 sts and 4 ch-2 spaces)
Create a total of 42 granny squares following the above instructions.
Seaming: Once all the granny squares are complete, arrange them in a rectangle shape, 6 squares by 7 squares. There are two options for seaming the squares together:
Option 1: Slip stitch the front loops of the granny squares together with the wrong side facing you. This method results in visible edges on the wrong side of the blanket.
Option 2: Slip stitch the back loops of the granny squares together with the right side facing you. This method creates visible edges on the right side of the blanket.
For a seamless look, whip stitch the granny squares together. Cut 75-80″ (190-203 cm) strands of yarn and whip stitch the squares vertically and horizontally. Keep the wrong sides of the granny squares facing you during the whip stitching process for a cleaner seam on the right side. Crochet over the yarn ends as you work on the border, and weave them in the opposite direction at the end.
Border: To complete the blanket, it’s time to crochet the border. With the right side of the blanket facing you, use an 8 mm hook for the first round.
Round 1: Choose any corner with a chain-2 space. Join yarn in the back loop of the left chain of the chain-2 space. Chain 1 and work a single crochet in the same stitch (chain 1 does not count as a stitch). Continue working single crochets in the back loops only, leaving the front loops untouched. Use extended single crochets in the areas between the granny squares to match the height of the other stitches. When reaching the chain-2 gaps in the corners, work as follows: Single crochet in the back loop of the first chain. Chain 2, single crochet in the back loop of the second chain. Repeat this pattern around. Slip stitch to the first stitch to close the round.
Switch to a 10 mm hook and work very loosely.
Round 2: Chain 1, slip stitch in the same stitch. Slip stitch in the back loops across. When reaching a chain-2 gap, chain 2 and skip 2 chains. Continue slip stitching in the back loops of the stitches across, following the same pattern in each corner. When approaching the last chain-2 space, chain 2 and skip 2 chains. Slip stitch to the first stitch to close the round.
Repeat Round 2 for Round 3 and Round 4.
Round 5: Repeat Round 4, but chain 3 across the chain gaps and skip 3 chains.
Fasten off and weave in the ends. Blocking the blanket is optional but recommended for a polished look.
