Blooming Beauties: Crafting the Roses
This is where the magic truly happens! Let your creativity flourish with your color choices.
Choosing Your Floral Palette
Springtime or summery shades are perfect, but a single color can be stunning too. This is an excellent opportunity to use up scrap yarn!
Attaching Flowers to the Blanket: The Base
We’ll attach the flowers by working into the front loops of two rows simultaneously. This keeps the flower yarn hidden from the back, ensuring a neat finish.
Locate the edge of your white blanket, just before the green leaves begin. You’ll be working into the front loop of the stitches from the final white round AND the front loop of the stitches from the round directly below it.
- With your chosen flower color, leave a 7-inch tail and make a slip knot.
- Insert your hook through the front loop of a stitch on the outermost white round AND the front loop of the corresponding stitch on the round below it.
- Place the yarn loop on your hook and Sl St with both strands (working yarn and tail) to join. Hold the tail along the back.
- Ch 14.
