Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Meadow Bloom Blanket:

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. This will be the center of your blanket.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets into the magic ring. Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) into the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the same stitch. Next, work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 24 double crochets at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, then *work 1 double crochet in the next stitch, followed by 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 36 double crochets.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the next stitch, followed by *2 double crochets in the next stitch, then 1 double crochet in the next 2 stitches; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 48 double crochets.
6. Round 5: Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the next 2 stitches, followed by *2 double crochets in the next stitch, then 1 double crochet in the next 3 stitches; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 60 double crochets.
7. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner until your blanket reaches your desired size. You can add more rounds as needed, ensuring the number of stitches increases evenly.
8. Adding Colors: Change colors as desired to create beautiful floral motifs and leafy patterns. You can switch yarn colors at the beginning of any round to introduce new shades.
9. Finish with a Scalloped Edge: To create the scalloped edge, *work 5 double crochets in the next stitch, skip the next stitch, and slip stitch in the following stitch; repeat from * around the entire blanket.
10. Weave in Ends: After completing your blanket, use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.

Your finished blanket will be a vibrant tapestry of floral motifs, featuring clusters of pink, yellow, and white flowers set against a rich green background. Enjoy the cozy texture and beauty of your handmade Meadow Bloom Blanket!
