Step-by-Step Instructions
Creating the Center Motif
- Round 1: Using the green yarn, create a magic ring. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Work 11 double crochets into the magic ring. Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
- Round 2: Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the same stitch. Now, work 2 double crochets in each stitch around the circle. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. You will have 24 double crochets at the end of this round.
- Round 3: Switch to yellow yarn. Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the same stitch. Now, *work 1 double crochet in the next stitch, then 2 double crochets in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * around the circle. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. You should have 36 double crochets.
- Round 4: Switch to pink yarn. Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the same stitch. Now, *work 1 double crochet in the next 2 stitches, then 2 double crochets in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * around the circle. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. You will have 48 double crochets.
- Round 5: Switch to white yarn. Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the same stitch. Now, *work 1 double crochet in the next 3 stitches, then 2 double crochets in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * around the circle. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. You should have 60 double crochets.
Continuing the Blanket
Continue in this manner, increasing the number of single double crochet stitches between increases by one each round. This means that for Round 6, you will work 4 double crochets between increases, for Round 7, 5 double crochets between increases, and so on. Keep crocheting until the blanket reaches your desired size.
Finishing Touches
Once you have reached your desired size, finish the blanket with a border of your choice. A scalloped edge or picot trim in white yarn would add a lovely touch of elegance to your Meadow Blossom Blanket.
Now, sit back and enjoy your beautiful, handmade crochet blanket inspired by the beauty of nature!
