I remember when I first started crocheting — these abbreviations looked like a secret code! But don't worry, with a little practice, they'll become second nature.
🧵 Step 1: Crochet the Blanket Body
The base of the blanket is made by crocheting multiple fan-shaped slices that radiate out from a central point:
-
Foundation:
Start with a small chain at the center. -
Expand outward:
Use mainly Double Crochet (F) stitches.
Increase stitches regularly along the center lines and sides to form the fan shape. -
Assembly:
Multiple fan sections are seamlessly joined to form a full circle or semi-circle blanket.
🌸 Tip: Keep track of increases for a smooth, rounded shape.

🌿 Step 2: Crochet the Border with Leaves and Flowers
The border of the blanket adds life and charm:
🍃 Green Vine Edging
- Crochet a round of green stitches along the outer edge.
- The green edging creates a vine-like structure for flowers to "grow" from.
🌸 Purple 3D Flowers
- Every few stitches along the green edge, create a 3D flower.
-
Flower Structure:
Use "W" stitches — crochet 3 double crochets (F) into one stitch to form a puffed petal. - Flowers are spaced evenly to create a rhythmic, garden-like border.
🌿 The flowers and vines are crocheted directly onto the blanket — no sewing needed!

🌼 Helpful Crochet Tips
- Relaxed tension helps flowers and vines sit softly.
- Color harmony is key: natural greens and muted purples create a timeless look.
- Take your time when adding the flowers for best results.
🌸 Want to Try a Rose Flower Blanket Instead?
If you love the technique but prefer roses, you can adapt this pattern:
- Follow the same instructions for creating the blanket base and stems.
-
For the roses:
- Start with 14 double crochets
- Work 3 double crochets in each stitch when turning back
- Fasten off when complete
