My Crochet Daisy Blanket!

 My childhood best friend is having baby #5 in July. We’ve known each other since I was the age of her youngest daughter, so of course I had to whip something up! I was in need of something to do at work (working graveyard shift in a call center!) and so I decided to do a little crochet blanket.

I saw this daisy blanket pattern on Repeat Crafter Me, and knew this was the one I had to do!

I followed her step-by-step instructions and soon had enough little granny squares to form the blanket. (They’re super easy to make, I can whip one up in about half an hour!) Then I had to make sure to lay them out in a way that didn’t hurt my head. I didn’t want too many of the same color in the same place, but yet I still wanted a slightly random look. This is the layout I finally settled on.

 Then it came time to join them together. I once again followed her instructions and single crocheted between the squares. I used purple as an accent color and love how it made the squares really pop!

Testing to make sure that they fit within my squares and that I liked the placement before I made any more. Turns out I loved it and couldn’t stop making them once I got started!
