Blanket: Flower Power
This was my first attemp at different Tunisian crochet stitches, other than the two foundation rows, and is a bit like an old-fashioned sampler. I designed the overall rectangle and square pattern before I started crocheting, so I knew which rectangles would contain flowers. The blanket used up a lot of my yarn stash and I enjoyed making it up as I went along. Although I made it smaller than the original design, it is still large enough to cover a double bed and is lovely and snuggly!
