When it comes to comfort and creativity, nothing beats a handmade blanket. The Daisy Granny Square Blanket combines the elegance of daisies with the classic granny square pattern, resulting in a piece that's both timeless and endearing. Whether you're new to crochet or a seasoned pro, this project will not only keep you warm but also provide hours of crafting joy.
Before we dive into the crochet magic, let's make sure we have everything at hand:
If you're new to the world of crochet or need a refresher, don't worry! I'll guide you through the fundamental stitches you'll need, including chaining, slip stitching, double crochets, and treble crochets.
Begin by creating a magic ring and securing it. This circle will serve as the center for our lovely daisy granny square.
In this step, we'll work a round of double crochets around the center circle using your chosen background color.
Creating the daisy petals is where the magic happens! We'll use treble crochets to form the charming petals that give your blanket its floral flair.
Once the petals are in place, let's add another round of double crochets to frame the petals and prepare for the granny square corners.
Finish off your granny square by adding the remaining rounds, including the corners and spaces that give your blanket its iconic texture.
Once you've created a collection of daisy granny squares, it's time to join them together. You can choose your favorite joining method, whether it's a simple slip stitch or a more intricate technique.
With your rows of joined granny squares ready, it's time to assemble your blanket. Whether you opt for a neat border or prefer the rustic look, your creation will radiate warmth and charm.

Everything I need in one place to be creative and I can photocopy extras of the pages I use most to customise my planning. I use it as my main diary, even for work and upcoming events. It inspires me to focus on my creative pursuits too. Love it!
Love this item going to put little gifts in it on the tree ,just tying in tails.
I am really impressed with the quality of this written pattern as well as the video tutorial. Both are clear and detailed. I am not done with my striped cardigan yet, but it's coming together nicely (though I'm not so sure about my choice to use up yarn I already have with individual stripes!)... so many tails to sew in!! My advice would be to buy self-striping yarn like she does in the video.
Easy to follow pattern! Super base for the rectangle or other larger projects.
Keep the tutorials coming and with written and visual instructions to follow along so beginners can learn. Thank you for your help.
I think there is a mistake in the written pattern. It says to do a half double crochet twice, when it is only supposed to be once
Thank you to the Secret Yarnery for this pattern! Can't go wrong with this one, it really is easy and fast to make - I'm on my 2nd one already and plan to do more! You really don't need to look any further if you're looking to make a scarf - you will not be disappointed. In fact, you'll have fun making it (I did!) Happy crocheting!
Thank you for writing a pattern that is amazingly easy to follow and help me produce a stunning piece!!
Wow! I can't believe I made this beautiful toran. Well, yes I can since I followed this easy pattern! Again, wow! How fun was this to make! Super-duper easy to make and you can be as creative as you like by choosing colours, placement of colours to form pattern(s), number of leaves, etc. so it truly can be personalized for any occasion! Love the Secret Yarnery patterns and tutorials - thank you so much for your time, efforts, and for sharing your talent with the rest of us in the world!
The best pattern & tutorial I have ever come across. Loved how you used the needle to clearly point out where the stitch was to go. Have made 3 hats already. Many more on my to do list. Thanks so much
The yarn world is vast & has several yarn naming & grading systems. This chart really helps to get the right weight of yarn, size of needle, gauge & yardage/meterage when using patterns or yarns from other countries. And it covers both knit & crochet. Thank you for putting together this very useful tool, Secret Yarnery.
I love this pattern. Very easy to follow and fun to make.
