Granny Square and Daisy Baby Blanket

This was a quick and easy granny square baby blanket. Total cost including flower loom was less than $10. I also made a matching hat using a circular loom.

I used a size USH8/ 5.00 mm hook.

Caron Baby Soft Yarn (4 ply) in Peach (1 skein)  and Cream (1 Skein)

Nifty Knitter Flower Loom

I used a whipstitch to connect the squares (5 by 4). Sewed Flowers onto corner squares.

Using the cream  yarn, I attached to blanket and started with ch 3 (counts as first dc).

dc in each stitch. I used 5 dc in each corner to round of square corners. Sl St in first dc.

ch 3, dc in each st around. sl st to first st.

Tie offf and leave enough tail to weave in.

Using Peach yarn, attach to blanket with sl st.

Ch 3 (first dc), 4 dc in first stitch. skip 3 stitches. 5 dc in next st, skip 3 st (repeat to end).

Tie off and weave in the tail.

 

Used flower loom to create 4 daisies for each corner of blanket.
