Other Crochet Patterns suggestions
I didn’t realise until now quite how many not only floral crochet patterns I have but also crochet motif blanket patterns! Over the years I’ve designed so many and so here are some of my favourites you might like:
In terms of blankets we have the plaid crochet blanket which is chunky, fast and so fun! The Tunisian blanket which is great for yarn stash busting. Or perhaps you’re after something smaller and the Joyfull ripple blanket would be perfect in that case!
For something fast how about the lumberjack throw or the parallel blanket perhaps? They are both super quick and great to match to your decor too!
Sizing options:
You can make this gorgeous blanket with or without tensions. It finishes at 85cm by 105 cm and each full flower motif measures 11 centimetres across but don’t worry about following all of these steps exactly because it isn’t necessary for making your own!
