INSTRUCTIONS

Flower Border:
Flower:
Make 60

With yellow yarn and 3,50mm hook
make a magic ring
Rnd 1: CH1, (work 1 SC, CH2 into ring) 5 times, FO
Rnd 2: with dark pink or soft purple yarn, join with a SL ST into a 2CH space.
(CH2, work 1 DC, CH1, work 1 DC, CH2, work a SL ST) into same space.
*Into next 2CH space:
CH2, work 1 DC, CH1, work 1 DC, CH2, work a SL ST*
Repeat from * to * 4 times more. FO and weave in ends.

Border:
Starting in a corner, join yellow yarn with a SC, CH2, SC into corner. Work 1 SC into next 3 SC:
*(CH2, SL ST into CH1 space of Flower Petal, CH2, SL ST into top of last SC made), work 1 SC into next 5 STS, (CH2, SL ST into CH1 space of Flower Petal, CH2, SL ST into top of last SC made), work 1 SC into next 3 STS, repeat from * around blanket, SL ST into first SC made. FO and weave in ends.

Note: This can be a daunting task, I made 10 flowers at a time and
attached them to the blanket. 
This way it breaks the repetitive cycle of doing just one thing!
