White Poinsettia Blanket – Free Crochet Pattern

---

The White Poinsettia Blanket is one of those beautiful and timeless blankets you can easily make and keep as a family heirloom or a versatile home decor piece.

This blanket is made of delicate crochet poinsettia squares sewn together using the invisible seam technique. Then I crocheted around the blanket with the rib border.

If you want to create a bigger blanket, you can do so by simply adding more poinsettia squares. Also, you can make the squares larger if you like the poinsettias to be further apart from one another.

Its all-white color makes it a perfect gift to anyone who has a minimalist home and wants a clean, elegant aesthetic. But as always, feel free to switch the white to a different color you desire.

I designed the blanket using double knit (light worsted #3) yarn. You can use other yarn weights to match your needs and preference.

Joining The Poinsettia Squares Into A Blanket

Place all the squares on a flat surface such as the floor or a table.

Use Cream color yarn and the seamless join technique to sew the squares in long strips (5 strips of 4 squares).

Then sew the strips to each other.

The Border

Round 1: Start in the corner ch3 space, join the yarn and ch2 (does not count as a stitch), *9dc in the ch3 space, dc in each stitch across the edge until you reach the next corner ch3 space* x 4, sl st in the first dc you have made at the beginning of the round.

Round 2: ch2 (does not count as a stitch), *fpdc in the dc post below, bpdc in the following dc post below*, repeat from * until you reach the end of the round, sl st into the first fpdc you made in the round.

Rounds 3 – 6: ch2 (does not count as a stitch), *fpdc around the fpdc post below, bpdc around the bpdc post below*, repeat from * until you reach the end of the round, sl st in the fpdc that you made at the beginning of the round.

Fasten off and weave in all the ends.
