The Daisy Blanket is the perfect finishing touch to my Daisy Collection, combining timeless charm with an easy-to-follow crochet design. Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just starting out, this beginner-friendly project is a fantastic way to practice and perfect your skills. If you’re comfortable with half-double crochet (hdc) and single crochet (sc), you’ll find this pattern simple yet rewarding to create. Plus, to make things even easier, I’ve included a step-by-step video tutorial on my YouTube channel, so you can follow along at your own pace.
One of the best things about this blanket is its versatility—with five different sizes to choose from, you can make anything from a small security blanket to a crib-sized masterpiece. Looking for something gender-neutral? Simply leave out the daisy appliqués, and you’ll have a classic, textured blanket that suits any nursery or home decor style.
This pattern is designed to be as relaxing as it is beautiful. The repetitive stitches create a soothing rhythm, making it the perfect project for unwinding after a long day. Whether you enjoy crocheting while watching your favorite show, listening to an audiobook, or sipping a warm cup of tea, this blanket allows you to indulge in some creative “me time” while still making something truly special.
No matter how you customize it, the Daisy Blanket is a heartfelt, handmade piece that will be cherished for years to come. Happy crocheting!
Crochet The Entire Daisy Collection
The Daisy Collection features four beautifully designed crochet pieces: the Daisy Bonnet, Daisy Cardigan, Daisy Dress & Daisy Blanket. The bonnet showcases a modern half double crochet v-stitch, constructed as a flat rectangle with a snug fit and optional decorative daisies. The cardigan, inspired by a knitted design, is worked from the top down in a raglan style and includes video tutorials for beginners. Finally, the dress offers a timeless silhouette created seamlessly from the top down, complete with video support for challenging techniques. Each piece can be adorned with flowers or left plain for a gender-neutral look, encouraging creativity throughout the collection.

| Leave a long tail to sew onto the blanket, break yarn. Weave in all remaining ends except for the long tail for sewing. Make desired amount of flowers for the blanket. This is where you can let your creativity shine through and personalise the blanket to your taste! | ||||||||||
| Finishing | ||||||||||
| Daisy Placement | ||||||||||
| Lay your blanket on the floor or a table and place your daisies around the blanket until you are happy with the placement. | ||||||||||
| Using stitch markers, mark each place you would like to sew a daisy or secure the daisy directly on the blanket with the stitch marker. | ||||||||||
| Stitching The Daisies | ||||||||||
| Thread your needle with long yarn tail. Pick up the top part only of the stitch below, making sure your needle is not visible on the wrong side of the project. Pull your yarn through and catch the edge of the daisy. Continue this process, working into the top part of the stitches and securing the edge of the appliqué as you go. Repeat around the entire daisy until it is fully attached. | ||||||||||
| To avoid misplacing an appliqué, hold off on weaving in any tails until all daisies are attached. Once a tail is woven in, any repositioning becomes much more difficult. | ||||||||||
| Secure Ends | ||||||||||
| After sewing around the entire appliqué, weave the yarn tail into the appliqué itself rather than the base blanket for a clean, polished finish! | ||||||||||
