The Gingham & Daisies Baby Blanket

 

A Crochet Dream Waiting to Happen!

Hey there, fellow crafters! Are you ready to begin your next super satisfying project? I'm absolutely bursting to share my Gingham & Daisies Baby Blanket pattern with you. This isn't just any blanket; it's a real stunner that combines that timeless gingham look with the sweetest little daisies – perfect for making something truly special.

This pattern is a new, updated version of a classic design I originally released back in 2018, and I've poured so much love into refining it. I've ensured it's packed with everything you need for a smooth and fun crocheting journey. 

And guess what? This premium pattern is available in my Etsy stores, on Ravelry, and right here in the Lullaby Lodge Store. Plus, it comes with a free video tutorial that accompanies the written instructions – you can scroll down to watch the video and follow along with me every step of the way!

What Makes This Gingham & Daisies Blanket Pattern So Special?

I've thought of everything to make sure you have a fantastic time bringing this beautiful blanket to life, whether you're a seasoned crocheter or just getting the hang of things:

• Full Written Instructions in English: Everything is laid out clearly, stitch by stitch. You won't be left guessing, I promise!
• 3 Blanket Sizes: Whether you're making a sweet little baby blanket, a cosy lapghan for yourself, or a lovely throw for the sofa, I've got you covered with options.
• A FREE, Comprehensive Video Tutorial: Yep, you heard me! I walk you through the whole process, from those seamless chainless double crochets (so worth it for that neat finish!) to joining your squares and adding that perfect border. It's like having me right there with you.
• Yarn Recommendations (Including My Faves!): I'll tell you about the yarns I love to use for this – Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran and Stylecraft Special Aran. They both work like a dream for this blanket!
• 20 Different Colour Options: This is where the fun really begins! I've put together a whopping 20 different colour palette suggestions to inspire you. From soft pastels to bold and bright, you'll find the perfect combination to match your home and style. Remember, you'll need two shades of your main colour (a lighter and a darker!), plus a yellow for the daisy centres, and a cream or white for the petals. I even suggest a neutral for the background, but you can totally use your petal colour for that too, if you like!
• Detailed Size & Layout Charts: These are super helpful for planning and seeing how all your squares fit together like a puzzle.
• My Personal Blocking Guide: Blocking really does make all the difference, especially with squares. I'll show you how to get that professional, polished look for your finished blanket.
• Handy Printable Project Notes: Keep track of your progress, your chosen colours, and any little notes you want to remember as you go.

Let's Talk About Those Squares!

In the video, you'll see me demonstrating how I make the plain granny squares and those adorable daisy squares. I even show you my little trick for the chainless double crochet – it makes such a difference to the look of your solid granny squares, giving them that super seamless finish. Of course, if you prefer, a chain three works just fine too!

Joining Them Up – Seamlessly!

I'll walk you through two ways to join your squares: crocheting them together with single crochet (which works great!) or my personal favourite, the invisible mattress stitch. Honestly, the mattress stitch gives such a beautifully neat join, you can barely see it – even if you used a totally different colour yarn! We'll work row by row, first one way, then the other, just like I show you.

That Perfect Border Finish

And of course, no blanket is complete without a beautiful border! I'll guide you through adding a lovely, simple border using your darker main colour. You'll learn my little trick of flipping your work each round to keep those corners super straight and crisp.

This Gingham & Daisies Blanket Pattern is more than just a pattern; it's a complete package designed to empower you to create something truly beautiful. So grab your hook, pick your colours (all 20 options are waiting for you!), and let's get crocheting!
