This blanket is knit using the magic loop method
Some knitters have reported the center portion of the flower puckering up a bit. To avoid this, you may want to knit the "Center Flower" section on smaller needles.
Directions
Cast on 8 sts using the disappearing loop method. Pull the cable through so you have 4 sts on each needle.
CENTER FLOWER
Work the following instructions four times on each round. Using the magic loop, I recommend placing a marker to designate where the pattern ends.
