Cheery Crochet Spring Daisy Blanket

Cheery Crochet Spring Daisy Blanket by @papertapepins with link to free pattern!


This was a long project. I started at the end of May but with moving to a new city and summer I didn't finish until October. I found this flower square on Dada’s Place and when I looked through the projects on Ravelry I came across bedcrafter’s daisy square (http://www.ravelry.com/projects/bedcrafter/flower-square-...). I loved bedcrafter's colours and I really appreciate the breakdown she gives on the differences between the original flower square and Dada’s daisy square.

I used Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly which is a DK weight yarn. Loops & Threads (Michaels store brand) is my go to acrylic yarn. I find it holds up well and has a nicer feel than a lot of other cheap acrylics. 

I have never felt very confident about my granny square layouts, and this time I used this very useful granny squares pattern randomizer for my layout: http://granny-square-colors.com/


The border I used is from the crochet "I love you" blanket by Repeat Crafter Me.

This is the only picture I have of the entire blanket - it's hard to get a good one!

Initially I was disappointed with the length of the blanket. I had planned to make it a row or two longer, but once I finished the border it was the perfect size for a cozy couch blanket.
