Daisy garden baby blanket

Daisy Garden Baby Blanket by Blage Crochet Design

Project Overview

The Daisy Garden baby blanket is a charming crocheted throw designed by Blage Crochet Design, perfect for nurseries, car seats, and strollers. This intermediate-level project combines traditional granny square construction with delicate floral motifs, creating a sweet and cozy blanket ideal for gifting at baby showers or celebrations.

Finished Dimensions

The completed blanket measures approximately 70 cm (28 inches) wide by 88 cm (35 inches) long, providing ample coverage for a baby's crib or as a decorative throw.

Design and Construction Technique

This blanket features traditional granny squares as its primary structural element, each adorned with white daisy motifs. The squares are worked in beautiful shades of purple, creating a cohesive floral garden aesthetic. The blanket employs the join-as-you-go method, which means motifs are joined together during the final round of each square as they are worked, rather than being assembled after completion. This technique streamlines the finishing process and creates a seamless, integrated fabric.
