  • Start by attaching the yarn to the edge of your blanket. You can do this by slip stitching into any corner or along the side.
  • Chain 1 (this counts as your first sc).
  • Work sc evenly across the edge of the blanket, making sure the number of sc stitches is even, so your tulips will be evenly spaced.

  • Starting the Tulip:
    • In the next stitch, chain 3 (this counts as the first dc).
    • In the same stitch, work 2 more dc (making a cluster of 3 dc in total).
    • Turn your work, ch 2, and work 3 dc in the next space (this creates the petal shape).
    • Repeat the same process to form the remaining petals of the tulip.
  • Creating the Tulip:
    • Chain 5 (this will form the stem of your tulip).
    • Join with a sl st into the next space on your blanket’s edge.
    • Repeat this tulip motif across the edge of your blanket, keeping the tulips evenly spaced.

  • After completing the tulip trim around the entire blanket, fasten off the yarn and weave in the ends securely using a darning needle.
  • For the final row, you can add an optional border by working 1 sc in each stitch across the edges, adding a delicate finishing touch to your blanket.
