Special Stitches Guide

These are the special stitches that give the blanket its signature look. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with them. The Flower stitch is the most complex, so we’ve broken it down step-by-step!

V-st (V-stitch):
(1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) all in the indicated stitch.

Picot:
Ch 3, sl st into the top of the last stitch made.

Flower:
The Flower stitch is a multi-step stitch that creates a beautiful, five-petal bloom. It’s worked into and around a V-stitch.

  1. Start: Make a V-st in the indicated stitch.
  2. Petal 1: Ch 3. Work 2 dc around the post of the second dc of the V-st you just made.
  3. Petal 2: Ch 3. In the same ch-2 space of the V-st, work (sl st, ch 3, 2 dc).
  4. Petal 3: Ch 3. Sl st in the sc that is between the two “legs” of the V-st below.
  5. Petal 4: Work (ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, sl st, ch 3, 2 dc) all around the post of the first dc of the V-st.
  6. Petal 5: Ch 3. Work (sl st, ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, sl st) all in the original ch-2 space of the V-st.
    This completes your 5-petal flower!
