Creating the Floral Motifs

1. Flower: With pink yarn, make a magic ring. Chain 1, then work 10 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch.
2. Change to yellow yarn. Chain 1, then *single crochet, chain 2, single crochet in the next stitch* - repeat around. Join with a slip stitch.
3. Sew the flowers onto the blanket in a scattered pattern, using a yarn needle to secure them in place.

Adding the Border

2. Once you have completed the border, finish off your work and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
