Notes
Chains do not count as stitches in the stitch count throughout the pattern.
Square will initially curl upwards while you are crocheting it; this can be adjusted by stretching the square considerably when finished (pulling from corners outward until piece lays flat). In Rnd 7 of Sunflower Square, you may wish to chain 8 instead of 7, if your work is curling too much.
Throw blanket in this pattern consists of 24 squares (4 across, 6 down). Blanket size can be adjusted by adding/reducing number of squares.
Instructions
Rnd 1 – With Coffee, make a magic ring. Ch 2, 12 dc in ring. Join with sl st to first dc. Ch 2 (12 dc)
Rnd 2 – 2 dc in each st. Join with sl st to first dc. Ch 2 (24 dc)
Rnd 3 – 2 dc in first st, dc in next st; rep around. Join with sl st to first dc. Join Gold in last st. Ch 2 (36 dc)
Rnd 4 – 2 dc in first st, dc in next 2 sts; rep around. Join with sl st to first dc. (48 dc)
Rnd 5 – Ch 5, sc in first st, tr in next 3 sts. Sk 2 sts on Rnd 4, and join with sl st in next st. Sl st in next st. Rep around for a total of 12 petals. Do not sl st twice on last petal. (1 sc and 3 tr per petal)
Rnd 6 – Working around each petal made in Rnd 5, ch 1, sc in first st, hdc over next 2 sts, 2 dc in next, [3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc] in next st, 2 dc in next st, hdc in next st, sc in next st. Sl st in between current petal and the next (second sl st from Rnd 5). Rep around. Fasten off Gold. (2 sc, 3 hdc, 10 dc per petal)
Rnd 7 – Attach Light Sage in the ch-3 sp (from Rnd 6) of any petal. Ch 7, sl st into ch-3 sp of next petal. Rep around.
Rnd 8 – Ch 2, *make 8 dc in first ch-7 sp from Rnd 7, and 8 dc in next ch-7 sp from Rnd 7. [Dc 4, ch 3, dc 4] in next ch-7 sp.* Rep from * to * 3 more times. Join with sl st to top of first dc. Fasten off, stretch fabric outwards considerably, pulling from corners, in order to relax the stitches and make square flatter.
Assembly
Put 2 squares together with right sides facing each other. Pull Buff through FLO of square facing away from you, and through BLO of square facing towards you. Ch 1. Sc in same st, and rep this process to sc the two squares together. Continue this process in each direction – sc two squares together both length-wise and width-wise, until squares are all completely attached. Fasten off, weave in all ends.
Edging
Rnd 1 – Attach Buff in any of the four corners of blanket. Ch 1, 3 sc in ch-sp of corner. Sc in each st around blanket, making [3 sc, ch 1, sc] in corners. Make a sc in ch-sps along the edge of each square, as well. In last corner, where Edging begins, [sc 3, ch 1] and join with sl st to first st of Edging.
