About This Field of Daisies Crochet Blanket Pattern
This pattern creates a colorful daisy patchwork blanket built from 5 1/2" square floral motifs joined into a full-size throw. It uses Red Heart Super Saver yarn in six contrasting colors and a simple 5mm hook for a soft, durable finish. The blanket is finished with a neat hdc edging and decorative flower pompoms at each corner.
You will make 120 motifs (20 of each colorway) then sew them together through the back loops only following the assembly diagram. Full round-by-round motif instructions, edging steps and flower pompom assembly are provided.
Why You'll Love This Field of Daisies Crochet Blanket Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because the repeating daisy motifs are both meditative and rewarding to make. I enjoy the color-play—swapping the three colors for each motif keeps the project interesting without being complicated. The joining through the back loops gives the blanket a lovely framed look that really elevates the finished piece. The corner flower pompoms are a charming, quick finishing touch that adds personality and whimsy.
Switch Things Up
I love to customize the color placement of the Field of Daisies blanket to suit different rooms or recipients.
Try swapping the palette for pastels for a nursery-friendly version or deep jewel tones for a cozy adult throw.
You can change yarn weight and hook size to create a larger or smaller blanket; use bulky yarn with a larger hook for a faster, chunky version.
Mix and match the three colors per motif to create new contrast effects — swap the center, petal and background colors for endless variety.
I often embroider a small initial or motif onto one square to personalize a gift blanket.
For a boho look, add tassels or longer pompoms to each corner instead of the flower pompoms.
Try joining motifs with a contrasting join color for a grid effect, or use the back-loop join as written for a framed look.
I sometimes change the edging: a scalloped shell border or a simple dc round can totally change the finish.
If you want a modern vibe, use neutrals for the border and bright colors for the motifs only.
To make a bed-sized blanket, plan additional motif rows and calculate yarn needs by making a small section and measuring motif count per length.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the assembly diagram and random sewing can lead to mismatched colors and imbalance; follow the provided assembly diagram on page 3 and sew motifs in the exact order shown.
✗ Not breaking and changing colors as instructed can make joins bulky and messy; break Color 1 where indicated and join Color 2 with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain to keep color transitions neat.
✗ Failing to work through back loops only when joining motifs will obscure the framed edge effect; sew motifs together through back loops only as directed for the clean join.
✗ Overstuffing the Flower Pompoms during assembly can distort petals and make finishing difficult; stuff lightly before completing the fifth petal to keep pompoms soft and neat.
