Winter Flower Blanket Crochet Pattern

I don’t know about you, but I’m always cold. It’s become a running joke amongst my friends and family. I’m not sure what it is, but I make sure my house is full of blankets for this exact reason.

There’s something so comforting about a crochet blanket and it’s so much fun to make one. With all the crochet stitches out there, it’s easy to find a crochet pattern you’ll like. Whether it’s a throw for my couch or a crochet baby blanket for a friend, I never get tired of these simple projects.

The most recent crochet blanket design I’ve been working on is called the Winter Flower “Done in a Day” blanket. The whole blanket uses the crochet daisy stitch. It’s an easy pattern you can stitch up in a day, and enjoy immediately. It’s perfect for snuggling up in if you’re always cold like me.

I love that this blanket flower crochet pattern is really emphasized by the yarn. It uses cascade big wheel yarn which is a soft 100% acrylic yarn.  It crochets up quickly and has a multitude of colors mixed up in it. It’s the perfect choice for blankets and this particular pattern uses the color, Fresno. It’s a wintery blend of greys and purples and blues.
