The Daisy Chain Blanket is a cheerful crochet project inspired by the beauty of blooming flowers. With its delicate daisy motifs, soft colors, and repeating stitch design, this blanket is a lovely project for crocheters who enjoy creating floral patterns with a handmade touch.
This design can be made in traditional daisy colors such as white, yellow, and green, but there is plenty of room to experiment. Try soft pastel shades for a gentle spring-inspired blanket, or choose brighter colors to create a more modern and playful look.
The repeating pattern makes the blanket enjoyable to work on, while the floral sections add plenty of visual interest. Whether you’re making it for a baby, as a decorative throw, or as a thoughtful handmade gift, the Daisy Chain Blanket is a beautiful project to add to your crochet collection.
Materials
Before beginning your blanket, gather the following supplies:
- Crochet hook size 3 mm
- Approximately 400 g of medium-weight cotton yarn

You can substitute the yarn colors to match your preferred color palette, provided that the yarn weights remain compatible.
Daisy Chain Blanket Pattern
Foundation Chain
Begin with white yarn.
Make a foundation chain using a multiple of 15 + 2 chains.
For the blanket size given in this pattern, start with:
180 + 2 chains
Row 1
Work 1 single crochet into the second chain from the hook.
Continue working 1 single crochet into each chain across the row.
You should have a stitch count equal to the foundation-chain multiple of 15, plus 1 additional single crochet.
Row 2 – Begin the Daisy Motif
Start by working 3 double treble crochets together into the first stitch. The first stitch is replaced by a chain 4 to create the required height.
Chain 2.
Into the same stitch, work another group of 3 double treble crochets together.
Chain 2.
Skip the next 4 single crochets.
Work 1 single crochet into each of the following 6 single crochets.
Chain 2 and skip the next 4 single crochets.
In the following single crochet, create the next flower section by working:
- 3 double treble crochets together
- Chain 2
- 3 double treble crochets together
- Chain 2
Skip the next 4 single crochets and continue repeating the flower and single-crochet sections across the row.
At the end of the row, complete a half-flower motif to mirror the beginning:
- 3 double treble crochets together
- Chain 2
- 3 double treble crochets together
Row 3
Chain 3 for height.
Work 1 double crochet into the first group of 3 double treble crochets.
Into the following chain-2 space, work 4 double crochets.
In the next chain-2 space, work 1 double crochet, followed by 2 double crochets together. Place the first part of the decrease into the chain space and the second part into the first single crochet.
Across the next 4 stitches, work 2 double crochets together twice.
Work another 2 double crochets together, placing the first part into the final stitch and the second part into the chain space.
Then work 1 double crochet into the same chain space.
Continue across the row by working 4 double crochets into each of the next 3 spaces.
Finish the row with a half motif worked similarly to the beginning.
Rows 4–6
For each row, chain 3 for height.
Work 1 double crochet into the first stitch, followed by 2 double crochets into the second stitch.
Work 1 double crochet into each of the next 3 stitches.
Then work 4 sets of 2 double crochets together.
Continue with 1 double crochet into each of the next 3 stitches.
Finally, work 2 double crochets into each of the next 4 stitches.
Repeat the established pattern across the row.
Row 7 – Flower Center
Chain 1 for height.
Work 3 single crochets.
Skip 1 stitch and chain 4.
Into the same stitch, begin working 3 double treble crochets together without completing the final step.
Repeat the group 3 more times, skipping 2 stitches between each group.
You should have 13 loops on the hook.
Yarn over and pull through all 13 loops at once.
Yarn over again and pull through the remaining loop.
Chain 4 and finish with 3 single crochets.
This creates the gathered center of the daisy motif.
Row 8
Chain 1 for height.
Work 3 single crochets.
Chain 2.
Into the center of the flower, work the following sequence 4 times:
- 3 double treble crochets together
- Chain 2
Finish the section with 3 single crochets.
Row 9
Chain 3 for height.
Work 1 double crochet into the next stitch.
Then work 2 double crochets together, placing the first part into the third stitch and the second part into the chain space.
Into the same chain space, work 1 double crochet.
Continue across the row following the same construction used in Row 3.
Rows 10–12
Work 2 double crochets together, followed by 3 double crochets.
Across the next 4 stitches, work 4 sets of 2 double crochets together.
Continue following the established structure from Row 4.
Repeat the pattern across the entire row.
Row 13
Chain 4 for height.
Work 2 double treble crochets together into the second stitch, leaving the final step unfinished.
Skip the next 2 stitches.
Work another group of 3 double treble crochets together, again leaving the final step unfinished.
There should now be 6 loops on the hook.
Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops.
Yarn over once more and pull through the remaining loop.
Chain 4.
Skip 1 stitch and work 6 single crochets.
Continue following the same construction as Row 7.
Repeat the established motif throughout the row.
After completing the section, return to Row 2 and continue repeating Rows 2–13.
Daisy Chain Blanket
Color Sequence
For the original color combination, use white, yellow, and green yarn in the following order:
- Rows 1–2: White
- Rows 3–4: Yellow
- Rows 5–6: Green
- Rows 7–8: White
- Rows 9–10: Green
- Rows 11–12: Yellow
- Rows 13–14: White
Continue repeating this color sequence throughout the blanket.
The alternating colors help emphasize the flower motifs and give the finished blanket its classic daisy-chain appearance.
Finished Blanket Size
The completed blanket measures approximately:
66 × 86 cm
Your finished dimensions may vary slightly depending on your yarn thickness, crochet tension, and hook size.
For a larger or smaller blanket, adjust the starting chain while maintaining the required multiple of 15 + 2 chains.
How to Finish the Blanket
Continue crocheting the established pattern until you have completed a total of 62 rows.
Once the main blanket is finished, you can add the border.
First Border Row
Using white yarn, work single crochets evenly around the entire blanket.
At each corner, work:
1 single crochet, chain 3, 1 single crochet
This creates a neat corner space and helps the border lie flat.
Second Border Row
Change to green yarn.
Work single crochets around the blanket.
At each corner, work:
1 single crochet, chain 3, 1 single crochet
into the existing chain-3 corner space.
Remaining Border Rows
Continue adding the border using the following colors:
- Yellow
- White
- Green
- Yellow
- White
At every corner, continue using the same corner construction to maintain the shape of the blanket.
Tips for Making the Daisy Chain Blanket
Keep Your Tension Consistent
The floral sections contain several decreases and taller stitches, so consistent tension will help keep the motifs uniform. Try not to pull your stitches too tightly.
Count Your Stitches
Because the design relies on repeated multiples, counting your stitches at the end of each row can prevent the pattern from gradually becoming wider or narrower.
Experiment With Color
Although the original pattern uses vanilla, pistachio, white, and yellow tones, you can personalize the blanket with almost any combination.
For a soft baby blanket, consider:
- Cream
- Blush pink
- Sage green
- Pale yellow
For a brighter spring look, try:
- White
- Sunshine yellow
- Leaf green
- Sky blue
Make It Larger
If you would like to create a larger throw, simply increase the foundation chain while keeping the stitch count compatible with the required multiple of 15 + 2.
You can also add additional border rounds to increase the finished dimensions.
Final Thoughts
The Daisy Chain Blanket combines beautiful floral details with a repeating crochet construction, making it a satisfying project for anyone who loves colorful handmade blankets. The combination of white, yellow, and green creates a cheerful garden-inspired appearance, while the repetitive sections make it easy to settle into the rhythm of the pattern.
Once you understand the flower motif and the repeating rows, you can experiment with different yarn colors and blanket sizes to create your own unique version.
Whether you’re crocheting it as a baby blanket, a decorative throw, or a handmade gift, this floral design is a wonderful way to bring a little springtime charm into your home.
Happy crocheting!
