The weather outside is downright miserable—cold, rainy, just plain NASTY—and for some reason, it’s making me want to repost the flower blanket. Here it is, snuggled up with the kid for scale and company.
Recently, I started working on a “summer version” made from pure cotton, but of course the store ran out of red and pink… so now I’m stuck. Do I arrange the squares randomly, leaving out red and pink entirely? Or do I wait until next summer, hoping the colors will finally be back in stock? Maybe I’ll surf the web (why didn’t I think of that sooner?!) and see if I can find the yarn online.
Either way, it’s shaping up to be a true 2013 project – slow, evolving, and full of little decisions along the way.
that flower blanket is simply stunning. x
Seeing the blanket with all it’s colors made my day! Thanks!
The blanket sure looks warm and cozy! Love all the bright colours! So fun! 🙂
The flower blanket is wonderful, so cheerful.
Thank you Ladies. Along with granny squares, I find crochet flowers addictive to make – the more colorful the better.
Beautiful Blanket. I too find crochet flowers addictive to make. I have made a bag full of 5 petal flowers. Any idea how to connect them to make a blanket?
That’s a tough one! The only thing I can think of (not knowing what your flowers look like and how many you actually have) would be to do scarves first and then join those scarves to have a small blanket. Does that make sense? Here is a tutorial that explains it pretty good: http://bit.ly/WlNOZj – at least how to make flower scarves.
Other than that – I don’t know. To join 5 petal flowers is harder than 6 or 8. Good luck!

[…] there: very colorful, very fashionable, very useful! And all of a sudden I knew that those little squares (Edie Eckman motiv #88) I have made, were not to become a blanket as […]
